IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and 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 September 26, 1889 There are 255 pupils enrolled in the Anaheim Public schools. In Professor Garwood's department there are 45 and in Miss Power's 35. Miss Burton has 40 and in Miss Clothier's primary department there are 58. Miss Baker principal of the Fairview school has 36 pupils and Miss Perlie 41. The latter lad, in charge of the primary department taught last year by Mi Meade. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim street car company held a meeting on Tuesday. It was shown that during the past eight months the receipts of the company have fallen below the expenses, and that the indebtedness of the company now amounts to $300. An assessment of $4 per share was levied to pay this indebtedness. The proposition of Mr. John Everhardy to lease the company's line for one year was accepted, to date from October 1st. Mr. Everhardy proposes to keep the track and cars in repair; to insure cars for $500; to run cars daily at least as often as they are now run; to pay taxes upon the company's property; to supply the necessary horses without expense to the company, when those now used by the company become unfit for service, and to be responsible for all to persons or property by reason of the operation of the road.

The Foley and Burk Carnival company of San Francisco, which has been engaged to furnish part of the entertainment is considered one of the best of its kind on the road. It carries 125 people and more than twenty shows of various character, including beasts and curiosities from remote jungles. This company will be here five days from Tuesday, October 27 to Saturday night of the same week. One half of the receipts of the company and its concessions go into the coffers of the Board of Trade and this fund will be used for advertising Anaheim. Some of the uncomfortable incidents of war were experienced by L. J. Christopher, the Los Angeles caterer and his wife who have been touring Europe. Mr. Christopher is well known to Anaheim people, Miss Marie Roos, his niece is visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Kistler and is growing anxious over the non arrival of the steamship Potsdam carrying the Christophers from Rotterdam to Boston.

"Gus" Henderson, Detroit Lions new coach. Starting his thirtieth year as coach, Henderson, who comes from the Lions after signal success with the Los Angeles Bulldogs, has seen his teams lose only 46 contests during all his years in coaching his business. A quiet, soft-spoken gent who quite proud of his record but lies in speaking deprecatingly his current team in the belief that it is good psychology, Henderson features a spread formation paying offense which will give the National League teams plenty trouble. That is no idle remark but a statement which has its basis in fact. While coach of the N.Angeles Bulldogs Henderson four games to National league clubs and defeated such aggreations as the Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Pirates, Green Bay Packers, Chicago Cardinals and Cleveland Rams. His first coaching assignment came while he was a junior at Oberlin college in Oberlin, Ohio. Because of an injury he coaches the team for two years. From there he shifted to Chamber Military academy in New York state before going to Broadway high in Seattle, Washington. Six years his teams, representing school which hadn't won a championship in seven years, w the track and cars in repair; to insure cars for $500; to run cars daily at least as often as they are now run; to pay taxes upon the company's property; to supply the necessary horses without expense to the company, when those now used by the company become unfit for service, and to be responsible for all to persons or property by reason of the operation of the road. He is also to have the refusal of the leasor one year after October 1st, 1890. Tuesday evening from the balcony of the Planters Hotel, the fire in the San Joaquin ranch presented an awful inspiring spectacle. The fire seemed to stretch from the mouth of the Santiago canyon southward toward San Juan Capistrano, covering the Aliso and Trabuco ranchos, and ranging over twenty miles of territory. The picnic grounds at Santiago canyon are destroyed and great quantities of hay, grain and feed on the San Joaquin ranch are burned. No casualties are reported. The high wind of Tuesday did considerable damage in different sections. A large tree in the yard of the Presbyterian church was blown down. It was reported yesterday that Sanford Johnson's large barns, now in course of erection on his farm south of town were blown down. This will be a serious loss. In some unaccountable manner fire started at the Blanchard sheep camp south of town on Tuesday morning and in a short time destroyed the entire camp. Loss not known.

Two days out of port a German cruiser overhauled the ship and a number of Germans between the ages of 18 and 50 were returned to Germany for service in the war. The Potsdam was also cautioned to lay up at night and run only by daylight. One of the pleasant social affairs was the Kaffee Klatsch given by Mrs. J. W. Cole at her handsome home at Hardscrabble ranch on Wednesday afternoon. The hostess, assisted by her four charming daughters had prepared games of word puzzles in which all joined and which were both entertaining and instructive. Prizes were won by Mrs. J. J. Dwyer and Mrs. Henry Kuchel. Late in the afternoon the guests were ushered into the dining room where refreshments which fully sustained the well known reputation of the hostess for skill in culinary arts, were served. The first course was a salad and wafers, followed by coffee, ice cream and cakes. The guests arrived at home about dusk, the motor ride into town being a pleasant ending to a most delightful afternoon.

With at Southern California he arranged the first game with Notre Dame inaugurating a football rival which is one of the most famous in the country. Tulsa university was his next stop and he made that school a power in the southeast. Without a "big name" on team, his Los Angeles club was the American league champions in 17 straight games in 1936. During his regime the Bulldogs wore 44 and lost five games. With record behind him as proof there is something to the "Henderson spread formation" bespectacled Gus is all set to show National league fans something new in the way of an open and spectacular offense.

Despite the fact that the aqueduct, for a distance of almost 200 miles, traverses the desert region that has been subjected to the greatest downpour of rain on record, complete field reports received in the office of General Manager F. E. Weymouth today revealed that no part of the aqueduct system was damaged or harmed in any way. Included in the aqueduct line that crosses the desert country are 63 miles of open concrete lined canals. Weymouth pointed out that in the construction of these canals provision was made for the disposal and diversion of storm water, and that al lof the aqueduct works constructed for this purpose had functioned perfectly. Water district stations reported Friday than since Sunday 5.9 inches of rain had fallen in the desert section in which the Hayfield reservoir is located, a quantity of water three times greater than the average annual rainfall of this area. The great downpour of rain which occurred in the desert region all the way from Mecca to the Colorado river sent roaring rivers of water down desert draws and washes and formed innumerable lakes in the vast region which customarily blisters under a desert sun. State and county highways east of Mecca were washed out in many places and have been closed for general traffic since Sunday. The main line of the Santa Fe railway was washed out in the vicinity of Needles, and the Parker branch line was washed out in the vicinity of Vidal. The heavy downpour of rain, which extended far over into Arizona, caused a record-breaking flood on the Bill Williams river, which flows into the Colorado river just above Parker dam. Flood water flowing into Lake Havasu, the reservoir formed by Parker dam, raised the level of this lake more than six feet in four days. Engineers of the Metropolitan Water district pointed out that had it not been for Parker dam the entire region along the Colorado below this dam would have been subjected to a major and disastrous flood.
