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 January 30, 1890 Rain began falling last Saturday afternoon and continued throughout the night, during which time the water descended in torrents. The rain gauge marked 1.43 inches as having fallen for the storm. The rainfall in the mountains to the north of town must have been much greater as the river seemed to contain a larger volume of water on Sunday than during the heavy rains of three weeks ago. The sandwash ran more wet than ever before. Perhaps a lot in the mountains to this point, coupled with the melting snow caused the sudden rise. On Sunday John Everharty let a buggy to two gentlemen who desired to go to the Olinda ranch. At Crowther's crossing, where the water was rushing in torrents, the buggy was overurned by the current and sent pinning down stream. Fortunately the two occupants succeeded in getting out of the buggy and reaching shore with slight injuries. The horse freed himself and swam ashore, and the buggy was carried about 600 feet down stream and lodged against the bank where it was later recovered. It was badly damaged. The rains washed out the Southern Pacific and Southern California railroads between here and Los Angeles. The roads to the south were also badly damaged. The Southern Pacific bridge over 25 Years Ago January 28, 1915 Without doubt the annual banquet given by the Anaheim Board of Trade at Masonic hall on Thursday evening was one of the best ever given in this city. Good fellowship seemed to permeate throughout the hall. The speeches were all optimistic and unity of action was the slogan which struck a responsive and popular chord. Over eighty ladies and gentlemen assembled around the festive board and did ample justice to the splendid banquet. Father Dubble was toastmaster and filled that difficult role to the entire satisfaction of all present. He told of accomplishments attained through the hearty co-operation of our citizens and gave a word picture of the beauties of this fertile valley and confidently predicted a great future for this growing city. J. W. Duckworth, the retiring president and F. C. Krause, the newly elected president each made excellent addresses as also did H. G. Ames, Prof. Hauck and J. F. Ahlborn. Mrs. C. E. Chamberlain made a happy speech concerning women's clubs. She told of the good work of the Ebell society and of their efforts to build a home of their own. A small amount remains yet to be raised to pay for a $1750 lot in the city and the ladies hope to soon have matters in shape to commence building operations. Fullerton Forum Subjects Listed Twelve Meetings Schedules During Spring Months; Admission Free Topic and speakers for the meetings of the Fullerton Public Forum during the spring month were announced this week by M. Crotty, director. The forum meets each Thursday evening at the Fullerton union high school auditorium at 7:30 o'clock and part of the adult education program.

Campbell University of Southern California will speak March 28 on "Ruin and the Future" and on Apr The rains washed out the Southern Pacific and Southern California railroads between here and Los Angeles. The roads to the south were also badly damaged. The Southern Pacific bridge over the Santa Ana river came near being washed away. The eastern approach was swept away, leaving the ties at railings suspended in the air. The pper Santa Fe bridge across a Santa Ana river was also badly damaged by the waters on Sunday. A large number of heavy timbers lying near the bridge were carried down the river. At the point of the levee where the river makes a dangerous curve, the timbers plunged through the levee, making a hole over one hundred and fifty feet. Many railroad ties were washed through the break, and the Chinese vegetable gardeners at once get about to gather them in out of the wet. The Celestials waded in the water waist deep and soon had a large quantity piled on terra firma. After they had secured all that could be got, the railroad section hands happened down that way. They piled the ties on a wagon and took them all back to the camp. Workmen have been employed during the week in repairing the break in the levee, and the embankment is now as strong as ever. The first regular mails since the washouts of Saturday night arrived yesterday morning from the south by the early trains the first to run since last Saturday night. John Wagner lost a large number of sheep on Sunday evening by the sudden rise of water at his sheep range north of Placentia. A corral had been constructed on low land in order that the young lambs might be sheltered from the cold east winds, the corrals on the hill being much too exposed. Some time on Sunday evening the herder going to look after the flock, found the entire enclosure under water which had run from the hills. Hastily opening the corral the sheep were allowed to get upon high ground, but not before many oysters were drowned. Judge Jerce has sold his ten newly elected president each made excellent addresses as also did H. G. Ames, Prof. Hauck and J. F. Ahlborn. Mrs. C. E. Chamberlain made a happy speech concerning women's clubs. She told of the good work of the Ebell society and of their efforts to build a home of their own. A small amount remains yet to be raised to pay for a $1750 lot in the city and the ladies hope to soon have matters in shape to commence building operations. H. A. Dickel favored the assemblage with a basso-profundo selection entitled "Sword of Ferara." He responded to an encore with "Garden of My Heart." The banquet was prepared by ladies of the Eastern Star under the supervision of the following committee: Mrs. Eva Boyd, Mrs. Daisy Mann, Mrs. Sophie Hansen, Mrs. Polly Kern, Mrs. Maud McCann, and Mrs. Flora Angell.

New Motorways' Design Revealed Utmost safety with a steady, rapid flow of motor traffic will be built into express highways of the future in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Principles of construction giving each traffic stream an exclusive path separated from opposing and cross traffic and interferences from Orange Chamber to Hear Leo Carrillo Leo Carrillo, popular motion picture actor, will be the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Orange Community Chamber of Commerce this evening at the American Legion clubhouse. A crowd or more than 100 persons is expected. 2. Adequate rights-of-way for future needs, and landscaping of roadsides. Administrative costs of the Relief administration in Our county are approximately 10 percent of the total spent this year according to Lawrence T. county SRA director, while year the administrative cost more than 20 per cent of the spent for relief in the county. The SRA case load in Our county at present is approximately 2500, Platt said. The only parable figure was for the year in January, 1936, when case load totalled 2093. The load in 1935 exceeded that one year, but records prior to are not available, he said. "The principal factor in the creased case load for SRA is curtailment of WPA work Platt said. "At this time last the federal agency was employing approximately 2500 persons. Year approximately 1200 people are working on WPA project Orange county. A major part of the people released by due to the 18-months employment ruling and for other causes, been unable to find private employment and are now receiving help through SRA. Another factor that has to our problem in Orange city is the general slump in the industry. "The third factor and one is affecting the case load and immediate time is the migratory workers importing harvest the county's pea crop experienced pea pickers who employed last year and in seasons have been replaced workers brought into Our county from other counties even from other states." NEW MOTORWAYS Design Revealed Utmost safety with a steady, rapid flow of motor traffic will be built into express highways of the future in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Principles of construction giving each traffic stream an exclusive path separated from opposing and cross traffic and interferences from opposing traffic and interferences from the side have been laid down by the state division of highways for such roads. These conform to recommendations of the federal Public Roads administration which in various reports has been emphasizing the need for express highways into and through the big cities. These designs for modern arteries to adequately take care of future traffic were outlined also in the report of the 1937 traffic survey of the Los Angeles metropolitan region by the Automobile Club of Southern California. In this the club made detailed proposals for a system of motorways to criss-cross and efficiently serve all parts of the metropolis. The general standards for express routes, and motorways, which have been officially recognized include: 1. Separation of grades by via duct construction at all cross-traffic intersections. Hear Leo Carrillo Leo Carrillo, popular motion picture actor, will be the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Orange Community Chamber of Commerce this evening at the American Legion clubhouse. A crowd or more than 100 persons is expected. 2. Adequate rights-of-way for future needs, and landscaping of roadsides. 3. Eliminating business or other land use activities from motorway roadsides, thus minimizing interferences from local traffic. 4. Physical barriers dividing opposing lanes of traffic. 5. Elimination of curb parking on express routes. MID-SEASON PANSY SALE —OUR FAMOUS FIELD GROWN PLANTS— YOUR CHOICE OF COLORS. 25¢ Per Dozen LEE TRADING CO. 718 South Los Angeles Street Anahe MR. CITRUS GROWER We all want more money for our crops Even with record production, this can be accomplished by increasing consumer demand and reducing cost of production and distribution. 1 3 Sunkist district exchanges and Even with record production, this can be accomplished by increasing consumer demand and reducing cost of production and distribution. 1 Sunkist growers last year, with a small assessment per box, spent more than $1,595,000 for consumer advertising and dealer service in the United States and foreign countries to increase demand for citrus fruits. 2 Our sales facilities are second to none. Our 57 sales offices in the United States and Canada are in constant touch by wire and teletype with our district exchanges through our Los Angeles office. Advantage is taken of every opportunity for sales. This year we are undertaking a cross-section survey of the nation, including remote areas, to develop ways of further widening our distribution. 3 Sunkist district exchanges and packing houses use all three types of selling—f.o.b., private sale, and auction. Sunkist fruit brings the highest average prices in all markets. 4 Exchange selling cost is the lowest in the industry. In addition we save on other expenses such as purchase of supplies, research, pest control advice, freight claim collections and insurance rates. In the past year our by-products plants salvaged 278,433 tons of unmerchantable fruit, with added returns to our growers. Are you supporting such a program? We solicit your inquiries. CALIFORNIA FRUIT GROWERS EXCHANGE Growers Service Department Sunkist Building, 707 West Fifth Street Los Angeles ORANGES • LEMONS • GRAPEFRUIT ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF SRA IN COUNTY LOWER THAN IN 1939 administrative costs of the State relief administration in Orange county are approximately 10 per cent of the total spent this year, according to Lawrence T. Platt, county SRA director, while last year the administrative cost was more than 20 per cent of the total cost for relief in the county. The SRA case load in Orange county at present is approximate 500, Platt said. The only comparable figure was for the first year in January, 1936, when the load totalled 2093. The case load in 1935 exceeded that of this year, but records prior to 1936 not available, he said. The principal factor in the increased case load for SRA is the attainment of WPA workers," Platt said. "At this time last year federal agency was employing approximately 2500 persons. This is approximately 1200 persons working on WPA projects in Orange county. A major portion of the people released by WPA, up to the 18-months employment and for other causes, have been unable to find private employment and are now receiving help through SRA. Another factor that has added our problem in Orange county is the general slump in the orange industry. The third factor and one that affecting the case load at this immediate time is the one of gratory workers imported to invest the county's pea crop. Exposed pea pickers who were employed last year and in past years have been replaced by workers brought into Orange county from other counties and from other states. These solve it and, at the same time, cut the cost to the taxpayer by substituting work relief for the direct dole. At present we have more than 500 men working on projects sponsored by cities and school districts and on other state-sponsored projects such as the three Orange county SRA gardens, where htey can produce fresh vegetables to supplement the regular food budgets for SRA- county welfare department, WPA and other clients receiving some form of public assistance."
