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 February 6, 1980 The masquerade ball given by the Anaheim Baseball club on Friday evening last will long be remembered as a notable affair in the annals of society gatherings here. Nearly five hundred people were present and it was 5 o'clock the next morning when the last one departed. Spectators began arriving at 7 o'clock and when the maskers arrived about 8 o'clock it was seen that dancing would be almost impossible; so large was the crowd in attendance. The Anaheim Military Band began its concert programme at 8 o'clock. In the meantime Inspector Dickel and the floor mattee had been kept busy to the wants of the mas. Who after passing through the inspector's room were turned over to Floor Manager Lewis, who introduced them to the assemblage. At 9 o'clock the grand march was announced. Shortly before midnight unmasking took place. Prizes were given Miss Dora Zeyn for the best sustained character (that of Topsy) and Godfrey Stock for his laughable impersonation of the Baby. At midnight the march to supper began. Under the able supervision of Mrs. S. Littlefield the table literally groaned under the weight of good things. Dancing began again at 1 o'clock and continued until 5 when the party dispersed. Following is a partial list of the maskers: Miss Minnie Zeyn, The Gazette, costume of white, decorated with Gazette headings; Miss Cora Lewis and Miss Louise Wehmeyer, Tyroleer peasant costumes; Miss A. Bentz, Ghost; Miss Dora Zeyn; Topsy; Mrs. Geo. B. Shafee, Bank of Anaheim, white nuns veiling, decorated with gold and silver coins and currency; Mrs. 25 Years Ago February 4, 1915 Whether a portion of the ground on which the city hall now stands would revert to the former owner in the event of a civic center being established and the building removed to the library grounds is a question that is causing considerable discussion. The deed however contains no such provision. Minutes of the trustee meeting of December 9, 1891, contain this paragraph, "As you are about to erect a city hall and wishing a suitable site, we offer you, free of cost, (or in consideration of $1), the following 40 feet front on Center street, to wit: The west 20 feet of lot 3, block B and the east 20 feet of lot 2, block B, and depth according to map recorded as per map of Anaheim Center tract, with the further reservation that the person or persons owning balance of lot 3, block B, be allow-the use of east wall as a party wall." The offer was signed by Messrs. Helmsen and Tiedeman. The west lot, offered by Mr. Helmsen, was accepted and a 23 foot lot to the west was purchased from A. W. Worm for $300. This gave the city 43 feet on Center street on which the city hall was erected. The lot adjoining the Worm lot was recently purchased by the city from Napoleon Hart for $8500. Mr. Hart purchased this lot shortly after the city hall was erected, and later built a two-story brick building upon the ground. Another offer of a free site was recorded in the minutes of the same date. This was the southeast corner of Center and Olive streets. A lot with a 40-foot frontage on Center and 75 feet on Olive was offered for $1 by R. and M. Luedke. When the city trus- Application of the sponsor to the proposed Association for Prevention of Juvenile Delinency, Inc., has been approved by the state department in San Diego and organization of group will proceed immediately it was announced early this week. The association will be Orange county corporation to incorporate are listed: Walter Tipton of Yorba Lake Robert H. Sandon of Santa Ana and Leonard Poole of Los Angeles. Tipton and Sandon are members of the county school department, the former being charge of juvenile cases and latter being undersheriff. Specific moves already planned include the opening of a home Santa Ana in which young whose return to a normal city would be impossible under prudent surroundings will be given care and training they will receive in a normal home. Children will be continued school like other youngsters will be released from environments which, in the judgment of the executives of the association would preclude correction. Other places will be opened a club or part-time basis in known to have a high juvenile delinquency rate. These provide underprivileged children with vocational training and chance to follow hobbies or interests under conditions not otherwise available. Emphasis is laid by the spot on the fact that the organizer is strictly non-sectarian, partisan and non-political. The plan is the outcome of intensive efforts on the part of Tonion and Sandon to provide means for the correction of final habits at an age when an appropriate life is feasible and when no of good things. Dancing began again at 1 o'clock and continued until 5 when the party dispersed. Following is a partial list of the maskers: Miss Minnie Zeyn, The Gazette, costume of white, decorated with Gazette headings; Miss Cora Lewis and Miss Louise Wehneyer, Tyroleer peasant costumes; Miss A. Bentz, Ghost; Miss Dora Zeyn, Topsy; Mrs. Geo. B. Shaffee, Bank of Anaheim, white nuns veiling, decorated with gold and silver coats and currency; Mrs. Classen, Domino; Miss Frances Schmidt, Grecian girl; Miss Louise Chevalier, and the Misses Milly and Emma Fleischman, three little maids from school; Mrs. N. A. Bittner, Starlight, black costume covered with silver stars and spangles; Mrs. Della Padderatz, Queen of night; Mrs. Mary Hussman, sailor costume; Miss Agnes Nemetz, Gypsy; Miss Wilhelmina Hartung, schoolgirl; Miss Molly Wetzel, Little Red Riding Hood; Miss Marie Horstman, Pink Domino; Mrs. C. Heimann, Blue Domino; Mrs. John Hartung, Bohemian Queen; Mrs. H. C. Kellogg and Mrs. Steckert, Japanese costumes; Miss Gussie Hartung, school girl; Mrs. F. Ey, Blue Domino; Miss Mary Boege; Music girl; Miss Clara Mosseman and the Misses Fannie and Maggie Higgins, three little maids from school; Mrs. Arthur Lewis and Miss Louise Schneider, evening dress. John Hartung, Geronimo; Louis Koerner, Devil; W. B. Magoffin, Baseballist; Ernest Everhardy, Turk; Ernest Bentz, clown; Wm. Frantz, Indian chief; H. C. Kelogg, Irish gentleman; Dr. Bullard, Turkish costumer; J. W. Walls, King Poker; F. C. Smythe, Marquis Lafayette; Wm. Hilmer, English Hussar; Lew Davis, Irish chimney sweep; John Schauman and Charlie Wommer, Twin clowns; Jas. Becher, Uncle Tom; Adolph Thomas, baker; Tom Goember, colored dude. Edgar Johnson has begun the publication of a weekly newspaper called the Tribune at Westminster, a copy of which has been left at this office. Chas. Ime Jerday sold his lot on the floor of Clementine and Center sets to Mrs. Luedke, consideration, $810. Herman Dickel was engaged yesterday in moving his furniture and household goods from his apartments overagenberger's by the city from Napoleon Hart for $8500. Mr. Hart purchased this lot shortly after the city hall was erected, and later built a two story brick building upon the ground. Another offer of a free site was recorded in the minutes of the same date. This was the southeast corner of Center and Olive streets. A lot with a 40-foot frontage on Center and 75 feet on Olive was offered for $1 by R. and M. Luedke. When the city trustees announced their intention along in 1891, of building a city hall, a number of citizens subscribed the necessary amount for purchase of the Worm lot, and the land was deeded to the city without cost. Mr. Helmsen himself contributed largely to this fund. While there is no specific provision in the deed for reversion of the land to him, in event the city hall should be removed therefrom, Mr. Helmsen speaking yesterday of the agitation to establish a civic center in the library grounds and remove the city hall thereto said that inasmuch as the property was deeded to the city for city hall purposes it should be continued as such site and that the generosity of the citizens who contributed the ground for the city hall should not be taken advantage of by the removal of the building therefrom and intimated that if such removal was actually made he might consider the propriety of asking a return of his 20 foot lot. Another instance of some similarity is the 40 foot lot on Hermine street, north of Center which was deeded to the city many years ago by Mr. Koll for the purpose of erecting a watering trough thereon. The lot was used for a number of years, but was discontinued about 15 years ago. There is some question if the lot can be legally used for any other purpose, or whether it can be sold by the city. The fortieth anniversary of their marriage was celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Backs at their beautiful home in Cypress and Hermine streets, Tuesday January 26. There were present Mr. and Mrs. Fred Backs, jr., Mr. and Mrs. Herman Backs, Mr. and Mrs. B. Walbridge of Santa Ana, Mrs. Roger Jackson, Miss Francis Backs and Miss Aust. These with the host and hostess and their grandchildren comprised the party. The home was beautifully decorated and a sumptuous dinner by the city from Napoleon Hart for $8500.

CITRUS EXPERTS REPORT ON TOUR OF FLORIDA AND TEXAS ORCHARDS After touring the citrus areas of Texas and Florida for six weeks, studying soil conditions and cultural and marketing methods, Dr. C. D. Samuels and Sam Walker, of the Agricultural Laboratories, Anaheim, told members of the field department of Mutual Orange Distributors at a recent meeting, that they saw no reason why California's citrus industry should fear destruction because of competition from those other areas. Texas has a soil and water condition that makes tree mortality high. The soil is alkaline and the water table cames close to the surface in large areas. More than two million dead trees have been they find, when added in the form of spray or to the soil, enable trees to produce heavier crops of fruit of better flavor and color. In addition to giving more attention to the technical side of citriculture, Samuels and Walker found that the trend in Florida is toward producing an earlier orange which is found to be more profitable and which will compete with California's Valencias. Nevertheless, California, in the opinion of Dr. Samuels and Walker, can meet this competition by sending quality fruit only to market, by improving the quality, if possible, and by lowering costs per unit by increasing production.

High School Notes by JACKIE MURPHY and JIMMIE TOWNSEND SPORT NIGHT Anaheim union high school will play a part in the fight against infantile paralysis this year when it presents a special sport program next Wednesday in the boys gym.

The Varsity "A" club will sponsor the affair which will find their group matched against the regular "A" squad in the first of the basketball tilts. Winners of the first game will face a team composed of coaches and other faculty members. Prices will be 25c for adults and 15c for students.

Sponsored by the juniors, this marks another step in originality as the boys were to wear cords and the girls were to wear print dresses.
