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 April 17 1890 The city election on Monday was the most exciting ever held here. Too hundred votes were polled. Several votes, as usual, were unable to get to the polls before 5 o'clock and consequently failed to vote. Carriages were running during the day and no sovereign citizen was compelled to walk to the polls if he desired to ride. The principal fight was made between the two candidates for marshal, J. Landell and A. E Hendricks. It was agreed that up to noon the contest was pretty nearly neck and neck, but in the afternoon the Landell forces were gathered together with the result that their men succeeded in getting a majority of 84 votes. Here is the vote: For Trustees: Chas. Schindler, 69; W. A. Witte, 163; J. Bennercheidt, 138; J. P. Zeyn, 60; P. Davis, 4. Although Mr. Harker was not a candidate for Trustee, he received 20 votes for the office. Messrs. Schindler, Witte and Bennercheidt were elected. For City Clerk: Max Nebelung, 29. For Treasurer: Plez James, 200. For City Marshal: J. Landell, 42; A. E. Hendricks, 58. Landell's majority, 84. After the votes were counted congratulations were in order. 25 Years Ago April 15, 1915 At the meeting of the Board of Trade Monday night it was decided to postpone indefinitely the booster excursion to San Deigo by rail. Later on perhaps the trip may be made by autos, and the committee will labor in the future with that end in view. A communication was received from the Fresno Chamber of Commerce asking for endorsement of Raisin Day, April 30th. By unanimous vote the board heartily endorsed the idea and suggested that everybody eat raisins that day and every other day. A communication asking that legislation be framed setting apart the waters contiguous to Catalina island as a fish reservation, thereby creating spawning grounds, received endorsement and the secretary was instructed to draft a resolution of that effect. The matter of having a paid secretary to do the business for the board of trade and merchants association come in for considerable favorable discussion. The business of both organizations has grown to such proportions that it now requires the services of an expert to handle it properly. It is proposed to have a competent man, at say $100 per month, to boost Anaheim continuously. Advertising literature is constantly demanded by easterners, and were guests of the club. Prize was won by Mrs. Fred Lapu and Mrs. Jos. Bennerscogne carried of the consolation meeting was held yesterday at home of Mrs. Frank Shanley which four new members taken in.

Reeks, Gal Grove; Second vice president, Jessie Coman, Fullerton; Reading secretary, Mrs. Van De Anaheim; treasurer; Mrs. C. Howard; Huntington Beach; liaimentarian, Mrs. S. N. Staustin. Although Mr. Harker was not a candidate for Trustee, he received 10 votes for the office. Messrs. Schindler, Witte and Bennercheidt were elected. For City Clerk: Max Nebelung, 209. For Treasurer: Plez James, 200. For City Marshal: J. Landell, 42; A. E. Hendricks, 58. Landell's majority, 84. After the votes were counted congratulations were in order, and in another hour the town had resumed its normal quiet. The successful candidates had disappeared, and the defeated ones stayed at home. Later in the evening after an exploring expedition in search of candidates had returned with the assurance that none were abroad, all hands blew out the lights and went to bed. Thieves entered the schoolhouse at Peralta, near Yorba, one night recently and stole every book in the library. An attempt was also made to burn the building last Monday night. No clue to the perpetrators. A new cement sidewalk has been laid in front of the Backs block on Los Angeles street, considerably improving the appearance of the thoroughfare. The apricot crop will be imminent this year. Last season's crop was small, but this year the wealth of blossoms show that the trees will be loaded with fruit. W. J. Smith of Orangethorpe, one of the old-time subscribers to the Gazette, in renewing his subscription to the paper the other day stated he had received full value for his money during the past and was satisfied he should receive the same in the future. Mr. Smith is our dark horse for Governor. Colonel Robison of the Olinda ranch was in town yesterday shaking hands with his many friends hereaway.

The business of both organizations has grown to such proportions that it now requires the services of an expert to handle it properly. It is proposed to have a competent man, at say $100 per month, to boost Anaheim continuously. Advertising literature is constantly demanded by easterners, and much letter writing has to be resorted to. In many ways an energetic secretary would do much good. A committee consisting of Messrs. Eygabroad, Noll and Hauck was appointed to confer with a committee from the Merchants association, with this end in view. The last five mile gap on the all-boulevard route to Los Angeles from Buena Park by way of Norwalk, is being covered.

The culverts are in place and the grading is being done. The gap between Norwalk and Santa Fe Springs has been finished after the work was delayed by the rain. So that now all that remains is the short gap from Northam to Norwalk. A very pretty wedding occurred on Wednesday at 1 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

Mexene is the basic ingredient which gives the famous "from Mexico" flavor to Walker's Austex chili, tamales and beans, sold all over the United States in sanitary cans. Mexene is an exclusive blend of piquant peppers and spices. It has been approved by Good Housekeeping and is recommended for a place on the kitchen shelf along with salt and pepper. It is not only necessary for making Mexican foods, but Mexene is an ideal seasoning for meats, salads soups and other American dishes. Walker's Austex chili, tamales and Mexican style beans are made in clean, government-inspected plants in Austin, Texas. They are nationally advertised; Good Housekeeping-approved; and sold all over the country. These products will be demonstrated individually at the cooking school, and many new ways of serving them with other foods will be explained.

Lane of Fresno, both charged with drunk driving, appeared before Justice of the Peace Charles Kuchel last Friday and were granted until April 18 to enter pleas to the complaints.
