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 June 5, 1890 Yesterday was the warmest day of the season, the thermometer going up to 92 in the shade. A large prairie fire to the east of Yorba helped to make the weather uncomfortable warm, and a light foretaste of a Santa Ana wind did not help matters. In the afternoon our customary seabreeze served to moderate the weather. An interesting programme of recitations and songs by scholars of the public school was rendered on Friday afternoon by Prof. Garwood's pupils in the presence of a large number of spectators. Following is the programme: Song "America" by the school; "Sketch of John Brown," Arthur Fox; "Sketch of Fort Sumpter," Willie Mitchell; "Sketch of Gen. Grant," Bessie James; "Sketch of Gen. Lee," Gertrude Snyder; "Sketch of Born," Lena Snodgrass; "Sketch of Stonewall Jackson," Clement Sheffield; "Sketch of Jefferson Davis," Neill Bailey; "Siege of Vickburg," Eva Littlefield; "Lee's Surrender," Ella Cardiner. Presentation of sword to Capt. Arthur Foster First Lieutenant Naill Bailey in behalf of Company. Song "A Thousand Years," by school. Thompson Hanna, recently arrived from Maine, has purchased the thirty acres of George Dan- 25 Years Ago June 3, 1915 Work of demolition of the Commercial hotel building at the corner of Lemon and Center streets, to make room for the splendid new structure which will be erected on the site is soon to begin. Mr. Zeigler will erect a four story hotel with roof garden which will be a modern and up-to-date hotel in every respect. The old Commercial hotel is soon to pass out of existence. It has long been a landmark in Anaheim, but the town has outgrown its dimensions, and it must give way to a more pretentious structure. It was built by Henry Kroeger in 1870-71, and its first landlord was Henry Bremmerman. Three years later it was turned over to Max Nebelung, who conducted it for a number of years. Twelve years ago, John Zeigler purchased it from Walter Neipp and has conducted it ever since. In its early days this hotel was one of the most popular hostels in Southern California. It has been the scene of many joyous social event, and has hospitably entertained noted men in all walks of life. Congressmen, governors, senators have been its guests, and many persons of note from foreign lands have enjoyed its hospitality. It has witnessed nearly half a century of life and is inadequate to the present needs of the growing city consequently. Two Anaheim residents among the nine persons injured highway accidents, in addition the fatal motorcycle crash Orange county roads during past week end. None was be seriously injured. Those hurt were: Merle A. Taylor, 17, of 2, box 294, Anaheim. Edward L. Richardson, 530 South Dickel street, AnRobert L. Valentine, 18, 1, box 297-A, Buena Park.

Both treated at the Johnston here. Thompson suffered slug juries when a car driven by Thompson Hanna, recently arrived from Maine, has purchased the thirty acres of George Danforth adjoining H. D. Polhemus at Miraflores on the north, and is putting up a dwelling house. He will reside on the property with his family. Mr. Danforth has moved to his eighty-acre tract south of Col. Polhemus and is erecting a residence. The semi-private man at the function has also built himself a cottage, affairs at Miraflores are consequently looking up and travel is increasing. Marshal Landell has completed the school census for the Anaheim school district. There are 514 children between 5 and 17 years of age in the district, of whom 202 are boys and 252 girls. There are also 155 children under 5 years of age. Twenty-eight births occurred during the year. A number of pupils of St. Catherine's Academy with Miss Ida Everhardy and Miss Clemmie Schmidt as guardians, went on a picnic to Santiago canyon on last Saturday. They hired a four-horse coach with A. L. Lewis as driver. A delightful day was spent notwithstanding it rained on the way up. But the weather cleared in the afternoon and all enjoyed gathering wild flowers and swinging in the picnic grounds. Those present were Miss Clemmie Schmidt, Miss Ida Everhardy, Cora Lewis, Hortense Yorba, Beatrice Smythe, Annie Everhardy, Mary Rimpau, Mable Blegenberger, Bessie Schubert, Frances Dauser, Theresa Knapke, Anna Knapke, Lucretia Richards, Jessie Melrose, Jacob Everhardy, David Smythe, Fred Backs, Fred Lewis, Gussie Langenberger, Henry Knapke. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Pendleton of Downey celebrated the fiftyeenth anniversary at the home of their son, A. T. Pendleton of Placentia on May 27th. A sumptuous dinner was enjoyed by members of the family and a few intimate friends. We hope the honored In its early days this hotel was one of the most popular hostelries in Southern California. It has been the scene of many a joyous social event, and has hospitably entertained noted men in all walks of life. Congressmen, governers, senators have been its guests, and many persons of note from foreign lands have enjoyed its hospitality. It has witnessed nearly half a century of life and is inadequate to the present needs of the growing city, consequently it must give way to a larger and more modern structure. With fitting and appropriate ceremonies Malvern Hill Post, G. A. R. and Julia Ward Howe Tent, Daughters of Veterans, paid annual tribute on Saturday to the memory of the old comrades of the Civil War who are sleeping their last sleep in Anaheim cemetery. There are now 44 Union veterans and 5 Confederates buried in this cemetery and no distinction is made between them when the beautiful flowers are distributed. The procession of veterans assembled at the gates of the cemetery at 9:45 o'clock and preceded by the Anaheim band, headed for the Mausoleum where the exercises was held. Q. V. Knowlton, adjutant of the Post, who had been delegated by Commander Peter Martin to act as master of ceremonies, announced the program. After singing "America," the invocation was delivered by Rev. C. W. F. Daniels. School children from Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia, led by the D. of V.'s then decorated the forty-nine graves which had previously been marked with flags. Mrs. Eva Gage of Yorba Linda recited a tribute to the unknown dead and Hollis Knowlton recited Lincoln's famous address on the battlefield of Gettsburg. Frank Tausch was delegated by the Anaheim City Band to appear before the city council and endeavor to secure a donation from the city fathers to help keep the organization going.
