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 Ploneers. 50 Years Ago December 5, 1889 The rainfall in October of this year has never had a parallel in October. Never before has the Los Angeles Signal Service reported so large a rainfall at the beginning of December. Some losses have been incurred in beans, wheat and fruit. But the rains have been as warm as May showers, and vegetation, with all the grasses and volunteer grains, has sprung to vigorous verdant life. This will insure abundance of feed, and has already set the blows ago. The acreage of wheat and barley sown will be larger than ever known, judged by the amount of ground now turned for the first time in every portion of the county. Great activity is also reported among fruit growers in the preparation of ground for new trees. A balance sheet will show a goodly gain on the season's ledger in favor of the rain. Anaheim Lodge, F. and A. M., met in regular session on Monday evening. The principal business transaction was the election of officers for the ensuing year with the following result: Philip Davis, W. M.; Richard Krebs, S. W.; Wm. McFadden, J. W.; W. M. Higgins, treasurer; Dr. J. S. Gardiner, secretary. This is the Doctor's ninth year as secretary of the lodge. Notice of installation of officers will be given later. 25 Years Ago November 26, 1914 Another boulevard which is to add to the fame of southern California as the motorist's paradise is now under construction to eventually connect Los Angeles and San Diego on an all-coast route. Construction work is now under way between Seal Beach and Balboa and this section will be completed not later than next spring. The bridge across the bay at Anaheim Landing is already well underway. A fine boulevard is open from Long Beach to Anaheim Landing, which runs almost the entire distance in sight of the ocean. And when the section is completed to Balboa it will afford a beautiful drive along the coast and leave only a short section between Newport and Laguna to be built to connect up the present coast highway to San Diego and open up that through route. A cargo of California fruits and wines amounting to 66,000 cases arrived last week at Galveston through the Panama canal. This opens up a new line of communication between the coast and the great central valley of the United States. Arthur Porter was in town this week from his ranch at Placentia announcing smilingly the birth of his first grandchild, a little daughter having been born last week to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. He is 41 years of age and the advent of a grandchild in his family makes him a long-time problem before he Anaheim Lodge, F. and A. M., met in regular session on Monday evening.

Thanksgiving day was appropriately observed by our citizens. Business was generally suspended and flags floated from the house-tops. In the afternoon Company G para' the principal streets with its military band. The boys drilled splendidly and were the recipients of much admiration on all sides. In the evening the ladies of the Industrial society spread an old fashioned New England dinner at Kroeger's hall and many hearty appetites were satiated with the toothsome delicacies with which the tables were spread. Mrs. Leonard Parker, mother of Ernest Parker of Orange, while out for a drive in company with her daughter and little granddaughter, on Friday morning, met with quite an accident. A young man on horseback passed them, and their horse became frightened, says the Orange Post, upset the carriage and ran quite a distance. In some mysterious way the ladies freed themselves from the vehicle with comparatively few injuries. Mrs. Parker, however, will feel the effect of the bruises for some time. The little girl and her mother escaped almost unhurt. The carriage was almost a complete wreck. On Thursday evening of last week, Miss Jennie Gardiner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Gardiner of Orangethorpe and Otto des Granges Jr. of Los Angeles were married at the residence of the bride's parents by Rev. A. G. L. Trewe, D. D., of San Gabriel. A number of their most intimate friends were present.

The little miss has three great-grandparents living, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Porter and Mrs. H.A. Stough. Arthur was also happy over the sale of a 10-acre ranch on East Orangethorpe avenue for $11,000. But he declares the little girl is worth many times that amount. Syril Tipton, one of Anaheim's athletes, is a member of the U.S.C. football team, and has gone to Tacoma, Washington, to assist in the scrimmage which will be pulled off there on Thanksgiving day. Teddy Tetzlaff, the local boy, who is one of the wizards of the race track passed through Anaheim Sunday evening in his racer to take part in the Corona races today.

Calls Annual Conference Sales of citrus products from the plant of Cal-Juices, Inc., Anaheim, totalled more than $470,000, it was reported in the annual statement of Bruce McDaniel, general manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors, sales organization with which the by-products plant is affiliated. Sales of canned lemon juices from the plant of the Chula Vista Mutual Lemon association were reported at more than $36,000. McDaniel, giving his report of all MOD activities at the annual meeting of packinghouse managers and stockholders, last week, reviewed at length the canned goods sales and the prospects for the future in the field of citrus byproducts. "Last year, the canned goods department reported sales totaling $20,559.06. Since that time, sales have amounted to $510,648.68. This is an exceptional sales performance. Of this, $476,186.64 represents sales for Cal-Juices, Inc., and $36,462.04 for Chula Vista Mutual Lemon association. "Last year Cal-Juices, Inc., pro-process of bankruptting its own natural resources as America has done, just as an improvident spender may have a whale of a time during the process of spending his bank account; but the eventual result is the same in either case—economic bankruptcy, unhappiness and a greatly reduced standard of living. The program of the Izaak Walton League is designed to assure through proper land management and intelligent conservation of all natural resources that the natural resource budget of the nation be balanced, so that American products were unknown. Today they have been sold in 47 states, the District of Columbia, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands, United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland, French Indo-China, Straits Times, the Malay States India. The 1938 orange pack, both of valencias and not was closed out. Today, only three months of the first 1939 juice pack, the supply practically gone; the demand ceases available supplies and prices about five percent last year." "Sales of a new product: Gold orange concentrate, June amount to $94,370. Product moves more fruit but contains more than three times the amount of fruit of the ordinary orange drink. The freight cost by rail on this product is only 18 percent of the direct cost by rail on fresh fruit necessary to produce equivalent amounts of actual fruit juice. According to data furnished respecting ent production costs, at 15 per can retail, the fruit should yield substantially less per ton than the going price to growers by commercial units operators. Florida and oranges, because of their size are not suitable for manufacture of these concentrates. "Government figures show soft drink sales today in the ed States are in excess of billion dollars a year—three as much as that sold prevailing war." McDaniel points to "An encouraging feature where formerly a large share of orange drinks sold were syrups the synthetic products are." Conservation Duty of Citizenship Is Belief of Izaak Walton League Conservation of natural resources is the most important time problem before the nation today," said Roy Mabee reside of Anaheim chapter of the Walton League, "War scares, wars, the condition of the wet and other front page news may seem, and may be, more mediately pressing, but in an decade they will be history, the problem of intelligent dryness of natural resources remain a continuing problem interesting importance as time on. And don't forget," added Moore, "that the country's reserves are the only source of all national wealth, and on their agreement will depend the stability of living and the economic future of future generations of Americans." Commenting on the dust storms which have carried away the top-of-vast areas of the plains during recent years and rendered them incapable of storing the population which independent upon this top-soil its livelihood, Mabee said, "Much publicized dust-bowl direct result of the World War, without thought of theulti-consequences, vast areas of total grass range land were put under the plow in order to temporarily increase the production of wheat and other grains. Perhaps the emergency justified increase the production of wheat and ether grains. Perhaps the emergency justified this misuse of land, but I suspect, the thousands of farmers and their families who were rendered homeless by this temporary prosperity feel differently about it today. With another World War on the horizon, the need for a sound, long-time conservation program with intelligent land management is today greater than ever before." With regard to the program and the objectives of the Izaak Walton League, Mabee said, "Contrary to the common belief of those unfamiliar with its program, the Izaak Walton League of America is not just a fishermen's organization. Many of our most active members do not personally engage in either fishing or hunting, but they lend their support, to the Izaak Walton League of America because they approve of its broad national conservation program which represents in the final analysis, the very essence of good citizenship and true patriotism. "A nation may grow fabulously wealthy and powerful during the done, just as an improvident spender may have a whale of a time during the process of spending his bank account; but the eventual result is the same in either case—economic bankruptcy, unhappiness and a greatly reduced standard of living. The program of the Izaak Walton League is designed to assure through proper land management and intelligent conservation of all natural resources that the natural resource budget of the nation be balanced, so that America may be a better land in which to live for this and future generations." Government figures show soft drink sales today in the ed States are in excess billion dollars a year—three as much as that sold previ- the war," McDaniel points out. "An encouraging feature where formerly a large share orange drinks sold were syne- the synthetic products are almost extinct and the both orange drinks, as well as ders at the fountains, are s Wardrobe FALL YUNGBLUTH'S for everything for the well Dressed Man.

To date they have been sold in 47 states. The District of Columbia, Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Holland, Norway, Switzerland, China, French Indo-China, Straits Settlements, the Malay States and India. The 1938 orange juice pack, both of valencias and navels, was closed out. Today, within three months of the first of 1939 juice pack, the supply is practically gone; the demand exceeds available supplies with prices about five percent above last year. Sales of a new product, Real Gold orange concentrate, since one amount to $94,370. This product moves more fruit because it contains more than three times the amount of fruit of the ordinary orange drink. The delivery might cost by rail on this product only 18 percent of the delivery cost by rail on fresh fruit necessary to produce equivalent amount of actual fruit juice. According data furnished respecting present production costs, at 15 cents per can retail, the fruit used should yield substantially more ton than the going price paid by growers by commercial products operators. Florida and Texas ranges, because of their quality, are not suitable for manufacture in these concentrates. Government figures show that soft drink sales today in the United States are in excess of two billion dollars a year—three times much as that sold previous to the war," McDaniel pointed out. An encouraging feature is that there formerly a large share of orange drinks sold were synthetic, the synthetic products are now demanding an increased fruit content. "When the orange industry some years ago initiated the idea of using orange juice in place of the whole fruit, the natural consequence was a resulting demand for the juice in a convenient form, ready to serve. Packers of pineapple, grapefruit, prunes, berries, tomatoes and other vegetables availed themselves of this demand, created by the orange industry. This business has grown to such an extent that last year the pack of all these other juices amounted to 31,500,000 cases, or 756,000,000 cans, an average of 23 cans per family for the entire population. "This is the market to be regained for the California orange growers. Most of these people using other juice products prefer orange juice and have shown they will pay more for it if they can get a good, wholesome product like Real Gold in a can. Sales records in a number of markets verify this statement. "Against this 31,000,000 cases of other juices, there were packed about 400,000 cases of orange juice in California and about 800,000 cases in Florida. In other words, about half a can per capita of orange juice against 23 cans of other juices were packed." The pack of this small quantity of orange juice, of course, is not responsible for the generally low prices on fresh citrus fruit. Last year, somewhere between 350,000 and 400,000 tons of the California orange crop were eliminated from the fresh fruit market. Of this only some 80,000 to 100,000 tons were used for byproducts. "From all observations by the trade, sale of canned orange juices and concentrates have not affected California fresh fruit prices to any measurable extent. On the other hand, we are creating new consumers and retaining old ones for the California citrus industry." Holiday makers at British resorts spend $25,000,000 annually for chair fees.
