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 July 3, 1890 The second meeting of our citizens, for the purpose of organizing a stock company for the erection of a cannery and fruit dryer, was largely attended at Kroeger's hall on Saturday afternoon last. F. H. Keith was called to the chair and Dr. Gardiner acted as secretary. The chairman had prepared a paper explaining the purpose of the meeting which was to organize a joint stock company to build and operate a cannery and fruit dryer in Anaheim. With a capital of $50,000, or 5000 shares at $10 each. Among those present who spoke in favor of the movement were Messrs. Sorenson, Nebelung, Darling of the Southern Pacific, Desmond of the Southern California, Littlefield, Schorn Henry and others. A committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions. The following gentlemen were named S. Littlefield, W. M. McFadden, J. P. Zeyn, T. Carroll, B. F. Porter of Fullerton, Isaac Lyons of Orangethrophe, and W. G. Potter of Centralia. Subscription lists were taken around the hall and in a few minutes a sufficient number of shares were subscribed to insure the success of the movement. Another meeting will be held next Saturday afternoon to hear the report of the committee. Everybody is invited to be present. Geo. E. Claytor and Miss Lulu Warner were married at the resi- 25 Years Ago July 1, 1915 Shall Orange county be infested with auto speed maniacs, or shall it, through the appointment of an adequate ccrps of speed officers, be made law-abiding and a safe and sane place for pedestrians and careful autoists to travel? This question is expected to be brought up at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Garden Grove tonight. Before again putting on duty its force of speed cops, the supervisors have requested an expression of the people and the recommendation of the Associated Chambers will have some weight in governing the decision of the board as to the matter. Large crowds of people were attracted to Newport Beach Saturday night to witness the highest tide of the year. Although the tide was registered at seven feet and three inches, there was no damage done by the water, as the surf was unusually calm, there being no wind. In several places along the Peninsula, the sea splashed over the bulkhead and ran down the streets but no injury was done to private or municipal property. The big tides of the past few days have dug the beach out in many places in a manner that renders bathing extremely dangerous and several accidents have resulted therefrom during the last week. Ralph McFadden is out again Subscription lists were taken around the hall in a few minutes a sufficie number of shares were subscribed to insure the success of the movement. Another meeting will be held next Saturday afternoon to hear the report of the committee. Everybody is invited to be present. Geo. E. Claytor and Miss Lulu Warner were married at the residence of the bride's parents on Tuesday afternoon. The groom is the Anaheim baseball club's celebrated northpaw boxman. In his courtship he evidently fielded his position well, and has made an excellent "pick-up." We wish the young couple every good thing in life. The brick building in which the Gazette is situated has been sold to Joseph Helmsen, who will remove his store to that portion of the building recently vacated by the irrigation district. The consideration for the transfer of the property is not stated in the deed. A farewell surprise party was lendered Mrs. Hartman and her daughter Miss Amy at the home of Supervisor Littlefield on Monday evening last. Among those present were Prof. and Mrs. James, Mr. and Mrs. P. Davis, Captain and Mrs. Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ey, Mrs. Langenberger, Mrs. S. Kuchel, Mrs. Heiman, Mrs. Schubert, Misses Dera and Minnie Zeyn, Misses Gussie and Minna Hartung, Miss Frances Schmidt, Miss Rose Davis, Miss Zoila, Smythe, Miss Elizabeth Kuchel, Miss Mary Horstman, Misses Jessie and Winnie Melrose, Miss Bessie Schubert, Miss Fritze Helmann, and Henry Strodthoff, Lew Davis, Fred Smythe, Lloyd Bailey, Sheldon and Frank Littlefield. On the 9th of July Evergreen Council, American Legion of Honor, will install the following officers for the ensuing term of six months: Mrs. Lizzie Witte, commander; O. R. Luedke, vice-commander; Mrs. E. A. James, auditor; Mrs. R. W. Scott, chaplain; H. Cahen, collector; O. Warling, guide; Mrs. Classen, warden; John Landell, sentry. It is desired that all members of the Council be present at the installation. Supt. Atherton of the ostrich farm has our thanks for late service being no wind. In several places along the Peningula, the sea splashed over the bulkhead and ran down the streets but no injury was done to private or municipal property. The big tides of the past few days have dug the beach out in many places in a manner that renders bathing extremely dangerous and several accidents have resulted therefrom during the last week. Ralph McFadden is out again after being detained at home for several days with an attack of what had all the earmarks of poison oak. He drove to Murletta on Sunday a week ago and returned by way of Carbon canyon. Whether he encountered poison oak in the canyon or at the head of the ditch is uncertain but he says it was no joke while it lasted. There will be a large bean crop on the mesa this year in the Buena Park district. The estimated acreage is between 1000 and 1200. One grower alone, C. L. McComber, has over 300 acres in beans. A. Nelson, Buena Park shipper marketed twenty-five carloads of beans last year and it is said he will ship at least forty cars this year. The crop is mostly of the black-eye variety, which the growers sell at about 3¼ cents a pound, at a good profit. L. K. Marshall is engaged in demolishing an old mill on the Bastenchury property at Whittier, and will also build a new residence for Mrs. Bastenchury.
