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 March 20, 1890 Complaint is made that the city ordinance prohibiting the driving of sheep and cattle through our streets is being violated. A number of choice plants in a garden in town, which had been secured at some expense by the proprietor, were destroyed by sheep a few days ago. Parties driving their herds through town are liable to arrest. The El Puente Mills, near El Monte, which old travelers on the county road between Anaheim and Los Angeles will remember as landmark, were burned a couple of weeks ago. A workman who slept in the upper story of the mill has not been seen since the fire and it is believed he was burned. Loss $10,000, insurance $4,000. A crowd of young men and boys gathered on Los Angeles street in front of Pamperl's store on Sunday and witnessed several foot races between different runners. A bystander remarked that since the advent of the Salvation Army we feared our city had degenerated in morals on the Sabbath day. Between the Salvationists and the footraces the latter invariably drew the larger crowds. Mr. Wehmeyer’s new vineyard, which he set out a few weeks ago. 25 Years Ago March 18, 1915 The Anaheim city band is arranging to give free concerts commencing in the near future. The members are anxious to have citizens come out in force and hear the music. They will never regret it. The band is the best in the county. The members are all residents of this city and immediate vicinity and are soloists of ability. Prof. Walter Crowther is leader and is rated as one of the best musicians in the state. The band is a credit to the city. Come out and hear the music. Twelve hundred enthusiastic Anaheim baseball fans, ranging from ministers of the gospel and staid business men to the critical school boy saw Hap Hogan’s Tigers wallop the Chicago White Sox on the local diamond Monday afternoon 6 to 3. The two teams left San Diego because the attendance had grown so small, but there was no complaining about the crowd that greeted them at Anaheim. The park is a new one and the ground is not yet sodded or hardened, consequently the visitors who have been used to playing on the turf found it inconvenient, but they put up a game that was worth the price of admission. Hap Hogan unpired the game. Edward A. Schultz, who 25 Mr. Wehmeyer’s new vineyard, which he set out a few weeks ago, is already beginning to sprout and gives every evidence of being healthy to the last degree. This is the first vineyard set out since the ravages of the vine disease wiped out our vineyards right and left. Great interest is being taken in Mr. Wehmeyer’s venture by the people not only of this section, but throughout the state, as upon the success of his effort to raise new vines depends his theory that the vine disease has run its course in this locality. May he succeed is what we all say. We paid a visit to the big Dreyus winery on the southern outskirts of town Tuesday afternoon and found it almost deserted. The vine disease has indeed left its trace at the winery, as where in years gone by there was every sign of activity and progress, there is now nothing more or less than absolute quiet and a spirit of loneliness very much in contrast with the past. Rain began falling early yesterday morning and continued to trickle during the day. The weather was sold and unpleasant. Precipitation to 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon .24 of an inch. The Backs block is rapidly bearing completion. The flooring is being put in and in a week or so the painters will begin their labor.

The center cornice has “Backs” in raised letters upon it and on each of the four pillars a raised figure appears, which, when the ornaments are placed in position will read 1890. The building will add materially to the appearance of our city. A Krug has had its building on Center street, formerly occupied by Dr. Hunt’s store moved Edward A. Schultz, who 25 years ago was a clerk in the post-office under Mrs. Laura G. Bates administration was in town this week on a visit to old-time friends.
