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 Dally Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange county in the Days of the Ploneers. 50 Years Ago July 11, 1889 Considerable space was given in our last issue to a report of the non-partisan convention held at Santa Ana or Tuesday. It was the first to be held in the new county. Of the candidates placed in nomination eight republicans and two democrats. The republican convention met at Neill's hall, Santa Ana on Tuesday.

Greeley, superintendent 25 Years Ago July 2, 1914 Anaheim is gaining much valuable and far-reaching advertising through the consistent manner in which the "Mother Colony" brand of oranges shipped by the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association has been bringing the highest prices in any eastern market. Twice in the last week this brand was noted the highest among all brands offered. There can be no doubt that through this source many have had their attention drawn to this section who had never heard of it before. And the fact that Anaheim oranges are leading in the markets means a higher value to the citrus orchards of this section. Street sprinkling has been abandoned since Tuesday morning owing to the breaking of the big pump at the water works, which went out of commission some time after midnight Monday night. The two smaller pumps are being used and the larger pump will probably be repaired today. Miss Rosa Yorba was married in Los Angeles June 25 to Herman Lock of Ohio.

Entertainment is planned at the street grandstand at 7:30, the collegiate dance starting Sales Promotion of Oranges Sets Enviable Record in Kansas Town Sales promotion for California oranges in other states is not limited to the large cities. This is evidenced by recent Sunkist activity in Emporia, Kansas, a town of 15,000 in an agricultural district. Letters and clippings from the Emporia Gazette to the California Fruit Growers Exchange advertising department indicate that its editor, William Allen White, is working hard to back up his statements in California last winter which added impetus to the Sunkist organization's orange juice campaign. At a banquet in Berkeley, the "Sage of Emporia" facetiously complained about his difficulty in finding a good glass of orange juice at a reasonable price in California—when a bigger, cooler, and cheaper one could be secured back in Emporia. When the Exchange advertising men placed an orange juice advertisement in the Emporia Gazette recently as a part of their national valencia advertising campaign featuring small sizes, they reminded White that only two carloads of Sunkist oranges were sold in Emporia last year. To bolster up his claims of superior orange juice in his home town, the Kansas editor urged his retail advertisers to feature California oranges at attractive prices, particularly on small sizes. The reaction certainly was gratifying, officials said. The Emporia daily of June 15 carried nine orange advertisements showing prices from 10 to 17 cents per dozen for Sunkist oranges. There were also three lemon advertisements is cooperating by the distribution of window display material, fountain mirror strips, and other promotional material furnished by the Sunkist organization. The editor closed his editorial with the statement, "So read these advertisements in the Gazette about Sunkist oranges and know that they were more or less inspired in Emporia, Kansas, nearly 2,000 miles from anything that looks like an orange tree." Santa Ana Dealer - Faces Injunction A Santa Ana milk dealer, Thomas Quinlan, must appear in superior court on July 6 to show cause why a temporary restraining order preventing the dealer from assertedly selling milk at prices below the schedule fixed last April 1 should not become a permanent injunction. The schedule was fixed in the milk marketing agreement for this area. W. B. Parker, state director of agriculture, signed the complaint against Quinlan. He charges that Quinlan has sold fluid milk of four per cent or less butter fat at a price of eight cents a quart, and 32 cents a gallon, whereas the milk agreement schedule sets a minimum of 10 cents per quart and 35 cents per gallon. Week end Closing of Banks Opposed Seven men arrested last Thursday night in a gambling establishment raid at Seal Beach enpleas of not guilty and asked jury trials when arraigned by Justice of the Peace Fred S. of Seal Beach Tuesday. Jury was set as the date for the trial. The men will go on trial at same time on the same chair. The group includes Ballardron, Walter Darnel, Robert J. Fred C. Schmidt, Daye Boy Earl Noble and John Snead. The raid was characterized county officials as "the bestraid in Orange county in the decade." Cash in the amount $507.25 and equipment value $5000 were confiscated.
