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 Jan. 16, 1890 The financial condition of the city is printed this morning. We have $51.65 cash on hand but the present Board of Trustees inherited an indebtedness of $2,436.63 from their predecessors. The city is now virtually out of debt. The trustees have done exceedingly well to wipe this out. While the board may possibly have been found fault with during the year, the fact remains that they have done their duty well, and received nothing for it. Let us doff our hats to the honorable the Board of City Tustees—and may their tribe increase. F. H. French has sold his orange crop to Thacker Bros. Colonel Keith being the purchaser of them. The price is $2000 for the crop from 10 acres. While it is the intention of the owner to make this orchard one of the best in the valley, still it must be admitted that the trees have not in the past been given the best of attention. Mr. Frer found the orchard in poor condition and under his supervision it is rapidly improving. The following officers of Evergreen Council No. 808, American Legion of Honor, were installed by Deputy Grand Commander Witte, assisted by Grand Sentinel Ey, on last Wednesday evening: F. C. Smythe Commander; Dr. D. W. Hunt, vice commander; Dr. J. S. Gardiner, orator; F. C. Rimpau, secretary; F. E. Hilmer, collector; 25 Years Ago January 14, 1915 This section was bathed in moisture on Friday afternoon and evening, when a new installment of winter rainfall arrived, promising success to ranchers and a deeper green to the hillsides and valleys of the coast. The farmers were jubilant in every section visited by the mild storm. Practically every drop that fell was soaked up by the soil, so gentle was the precipitation. Citrus and other fruit groves, pasture lands and truck gardehs were those which received the greatest benefit. W. M. Martenet, W. M.; Tom Hoag, S. W.; and Earl Abbey, J. W., recently elected officers of Anaheim Lodge, F. and A. M., were duly qualified at a meeting recently held at Santa Ana under the supervision of District Inspector Trago of that city. Other members present were Postmaster Winters and McComber of Buena Park and H. W. Braden of this city. Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Simpson entertained at their home on East and South streets on Friday evening in honor of Mrs. Calkins who is their guest. Cards were the feature of the evening and after partaking of a late supper the guests departed for their homes. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Simpson, Mrs. Calkins, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sackett, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Truleau, Mr. and Mrs. R. B.

Wallace, surgeon; A. Remick, sergeant major; G. W. Sponable, quartermaster sergeant; G. A. Irwin, chaplain; J. K. McDowell, adjutant. H. D. Polhemus informs us that 140 acres of land have been rented during the week to farmers at Miraflores, who are now engaged in putting in corn and barley. Messrs. Danforth and Polhemus are also seeding a large area to corn, barley and potatoes. Judge Pierce is putting in several hundreds of acres of grain on the old Hanna ranch. More new ground is being broken for crops this season than ever before. An enjoyable party was given by Mr. ar M. Henry Hetebrink at their Placentia last Saturday evening. A large number of people were present from the countryside and dancing was kept up until a late hour. A bountiful supper was served toward midnight. A very pleasantance was given by Mrs. John Vagner at her residence in Placentia on Monday evening. The event was a farewell tendered to Mrs. Della Padderatz, who left for Elizabeth Lake on Tuesday. A very pleasant time was had. The grounds in front of St. Catherine's Academy on Palm street are being laid out in a large circular flower bed with graveled walks around it. The improvement at their home on East and South streets on Friday evening in honor of Mrs. Calkins who is their guest. Cards were the feature of the evening and after partaking of a late supper the guests departed for their homes. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Simpson, Mrs. Calkins, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sackett, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Truleau, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Herman, Mrs. Dickerson, Mrs. Adkins, Mrs. Bigelow, Miss Elizabeth Dickerson and V. U. Simpson. There will be a special meeting of the Library Board on Friday evening to order the magazines for 1915 and hear the report of the book committee. Any one desiring any magazine or book purchased, kindly leave the name with the librarian before Friday. Mr. Kroeger, owing to ill health, has resigned as janitor and Mr. McAulay has been elected to the position. The librarian, Mrs Marie Pistorius is greatly improved in health and expects to be in the library very soon. A piano more than one hundred years old, which was brought to this country from Poland by Madame Modjeska when she planted her Polish colony in Anaheim is on display in the show window of Schmidt & Knirsch's piano house. It belongs to the Modjeska estate and is kept in her late home which is one of the show places of Orange county. John Fisher informs us that work upon his new three story building on West Center street will be rushed. Cement was hauled onto the premises on Monday and active construction will begin at once. The building will be one of the finest in the county, and will add much to the architectural beauty of that part of the city. Rev. F. W. Mitchell and S. C. Hartranft attended a meeting of the Presbytery at Los Angeles Tuesday. The population of Fullerton according to the census just taken is placed at 3,221. In 1910 the population was 1782. At that time Placentia was included in the Fullerton limits. The population of Brea is given at 594 and La Habra at 395. Ramon Harmon, 27, and Elsie A very pleasantance was given by Mrs. John Vagner at her residence in Placentia on Monday evening. The event was a farewell tendered to Mrs. Della Padderatz, who left for Elizabeth Lake on Tuesday. A very pleasant time was had. The grounds in front of St. Catherine's Academy on Palm street are being laid out in a large circular flower bed with graveled walks around it. The improvement adds materially to the attractiveness of the convent. There are now eighty scholars in attendance, more than ever before. F. W. Sanborn, the rising young attorney Orange, was in town Tuesday a business visit. Mr. Sanbo as lately returned from a trip to lower California, and speaks in words of great praise about the mines below the line. A. H. Harlin of Santa Ana was over with the baseball boys on Sunday anxious to arrange for a game with his club. He conveys the gratifying information that a large number of ladies and gentlemen at Santa Ana will be over to attend the masquerade. Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Whiting of El Toro were the guests of Dr. Bullard one day last week. Born, in Fullerton January 14 to the wife of Lionel Browning, a daughter. William Crowthe reports that the late frost nipped young and tender shoots of trees on his place in Placentia to a slight extent, but no damage resulted. Robert Parker's place at Fullerton was not damaged at all. From information gathered from orange growers throughout the valley it is learned that the weather was not cold enough to injure the orange crop in any locality. Jaysee Students Start Flights First of 30 student aviators at Santa Ana junior college to commence actual flight training at the Eddie Martin airport last week were (left to right) H. Q. Bolton, Joe Thompson, Flight Instructor Floyd Martin, and Laurence Dresser. Their plane is the craft recently used for an Orange county endurance attempt by Jerry Keeley and Troy Colboch. George Pickering Directs Builders George C. Pickering, Fullerton contractor, has assumed his duties as president of the Building Contractors' State association along with a new board of directors. "It is the aim of the association to continue the fight for needed legislation designed to protect the buying public from unscrupulous contractors, to continue to advocate and improve quality and to increase the cooperation between Pier Construction To Start in Month Bids for construction of two municipal piers in Newport Beach will be opened at a city council meeting on January 15. The council has approved plans and specifications for the two pier structures, as drawn by City Engineer R. L. Patterson, and has instructed City Clerk Frank Rhinehart to issue the call for bids. The two projects are expected to cost about $130,000, with the money to be approximately evenly distributed. Directs Binders George C. Pickering, Fullerton contractor, has assumed his duties as president of the Building Contractors' State association along with a new board of directors. "It is the aim of the association to continue the fight for needed legislation designed to protect the buying public from unscrupulous contractors, to continue to advocate and improve quality and to increase the cooperation between builders and government agencies," Pickering said. Pickering pointed out that recent federal figures proved that California, particularly the southern part, has the lower cost ratio of any section of the nation. "California was the white spot of the nation for building during 1939, with only New York City leading Los Angeles in total construction, due to the large structures erected there," Pickering said. "Every step possible will be taken during 1940 to push steadily forward the building program to provide employment for 50,000 wage earners."

The two projects are expected to cost about $130,000, with the money to be approximately evenly divided between piers to be built at Newport and at Balboa. Construction is expected to start before February 1.

County Floats in the Rose Parade Win What Orange county was well represented in the 51st annual tournament of Roses parade at Pasadena was impressively re-recorded this week with the report that the city of Orange float took honors in the class for that city, while Newport Harbor is second place in its class.

Comedy is Next on Pasadena Playbill Four men and a girl, grasping their straws of explanation in Howard Lindsay's comic rampage, the Loves Me Not," manage to tear the ivy from the stately walls of Princeton university in great handfulls. The Lindsay comedy heads for the Pasadena Community Playhouse stage, Jan. 9-20, to tell about Curley, the night club dancer who tries hiding in the halls old Nassau to escape the police. Quartet of seekers after higher education make a desperate college try with the aid of boys' clothes, a pair of scissors, etc., Population of County Figured At 145,000 It's open season for guessing, now that the census is under way, and the claim is out that Santa Ana's population is more than 40,000 and the county's size has grown to 145,000 or more persons. Fifty years ago the county claimed slightly more than 10,000 souls, and Santa Ana only 2000 when it was incorporated. The census of 1930 credited Orange county with a population of 130,000 persons. MISSOURI PICNIC The Missouri State society of Southern California will stage its annual mid-winter picnic reunion, all day, Saturday, Jan. 13, in Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles. Secretary John H.

Wildflowers Bloom In Imperial Valley Desert wildflowers in full bloom in the middle of the winter season is an unusual sight that will greet the eye of the motorist in the vicinity of Imperial valley, according to the National Automobile club.
