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 July 25, 1889 Twenty-six hundred and seventy-eight votes were cast at the election on Wednesday. Every candidate on the non-partisan ticket was elected, and Santa Ana is chosen county seat by a vote of 1,724 against 775 for Orange. Towner for superior judge received 1583 votes; Edwards for district attorney 2,634; Wickham for county clerk 1,714; Foster for county recorder 1,387; Harris for sheriff 1,377; Wall for treasurer 1,701; Smythe for assessor 2,639; Greeley for superintendent of schools, 2,661; Wood for surveyor 2,651; Mills for coroner 2,085. W. H. Spurgeon is elected supervisor in the First district, Jacob Ross in the second, S. Littlefield in this, the third. In the fourth there will be a contest between Armor of Orange and McPherson of McPherson. In the fifth Smith is elected. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water company held their regular meeting on Saturday afternoon. President Schorn was in the chair. Messrs: Korn and Gilman who were elected to fill the places of Messrs. Zeyn and Hunter were not present. Mr. Gilman notified the board he would not accept the position. Mr. McDermont was thereupon elected Director in place of Mr. Hunter. 25 Years Ago July 16, 1914 The forests of sun flowers on vacant lots on East Center street were felled the first of the week with a brush scythe, an axe and hoe. This is a laudable piece of work on the part of Street Superintendent Sackett, and there are yet other groves in various sections of town whose owners might profit by this example. These tall weeds which grow rapidly and rank, when permitted to flourish, give the city the appearance of running to seed. Why should they be allowed to encumber a vacant lot when an hour or two's work will destroy them? Frank Porter, a pioneer of Orangethorpe was in town on Monday on a business mission. Mr. Porter travels over the roads of Orange county quite a bit and he allows that some new stretches of the state highway are just about the limit. The commission, it is said, are attempting to cover too much territory with its allotted funds, and a poor quality of roads is the result. Theodore Roberts is making preparations to move into his new quarters in the Krausnek block as soon as the building is completed which will probably be before the end of August. Mr. Roberts is now making a sweeping reduction sale on all the valuable goods in Even with business conditions China distrubed by the Japanese invasion, sales of California citrus fruits in the Orient are increasing, according to the second annual report of J. M. Alkow, special sales representative of the Mutual Orange Distributors in the Oriental with headquarters in Shanghai Consumption of California citrus in the Orient increased 60 per cent within the last two years, an strange to say, 50 per cent of the fruit is being sold in Shanghai and Honk Kong, where war activity and Hong Kong, where war activities seriously affect business. This increase in fruit consumption, according to Alkow's report to the MOD board of directors Monday, is due largely to the employment of modern Occidental display and advertising methods and to a better understanding of the philosophy of the Oriental business men.
