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 10, 1890 The Planters Hotel, one of the most noted hostelries in Southern California, and which has stood for nineteen years the leading hotel in Anaheim, was burned to the ground early on Saturday morning. The contents of the building were almost entirely destroyed. The fire alarm was turned in at 2:30, and at 4 nothing was left of the building but a mass of ruins. The cause of the fire was a mystery, but that it was of incendiary origin there is not much disposition to doubt. At 12 o'clock N. H. Mitchell, proprietor of the hotel, returned from Los Angeles on the late train and retired to his apartments on the upper floor. At 2:30 Syl Berry or Orange, who has been taking Ed Morgan's place as clerk at the hotel, was awakened by the smoke which filled his room. He ran to the front door and gave the alarm. H. P. Larsen, who was asleep in his apartments in the Metz block, across the street from the hotel, sprang to his door and saw the smoke and flames issuing from the building. He ran to the fire-bell and turned in the alarm. The alarm of fire soon called out almost the entire population. Vigorous work was done to check the flames and confine them to the hotel. The fire began in the oil-room, a small apartment leading off from the washroom, on the ground floor. The flames immediately spread to the adjoining billboard. 25 Years Ago July 8, 1915 Traffic on the state highway has already reached proportions undreamed of by the projectors of that road, and complaint is made that it is too narrow and will eventually have to be widened. It is estimated by parties who observed, that one thousand autos passed south on Los Angeles street from daylight until noon on Saturday, and probably hundreds were on the road going in opposite direction. J. E. Lemen, who lives on the state road just south of town, took it upon himself to count the machines passing his place Monday evening. Within 35 minutes he had counted 239 automobiles, 30 motorcycles, 8 horse drawn vehicles and bicycles innumerable. He estimates that from 5 o'clock Saturday morning until midnight Monday, 7000 autos passed his house. Mr. Lemen says that frequently in running his car out of the garage he is compelled to wait for an opportunity to sandwich it in between passing automobiles. He asserts it is dangerous for pedestrians to travel the highway, especially after night, and thinks the pavement must eventually be widened or a foot-walk built on the side. Ralph McFadden and wife and W. T. Wallop and wife motored down to San Diego, Friday and spent a couple of days at the fair. They report San Diego crowded with tourists, 20,000 autos it was estimated being in the city on Folks say former Secretary of Navy Edison, who expired be governor of New Jersey smart as his father, Tom, vented the phonograph an' pictures so folks would sleep nights an' use his electric bulbs.

Lavinder of Chicago Lavinder is a sister of Mrs. Miss Eileen Cayce, daugh Mrs. Mac Polhemus Cayce early of this city was ma across the street from the hotel, sprang to his door and saw the smoke and flames issuing from the building. He ran to the fire-bell and turned in the alarm. The alarm of fire soon called out almost the entire population. Vigorous work was done to check the flames and confine them to the hotel. The fire began in the oil-room, a small apartment leading off from the washroom, on the ground floor. The flames immediately spread to the adjoining billiard and clubrooms and in an instant had made their way to the stairs and the office in the front part of the building. The efforts of the firemen were at first directed to saving of property on Los Angeles street. For a time Federman's building and White's Wagon shop situated on Los Angeles street directly across from the hotel were menaced. Only the greatest efforts on the part of the firemen saved these buildings from destruction. As the flames found their way through to the Center street side of the hotel there was great danger that the row of buildings occupied by Cahen's and Rimpau Bros. store, the bank of Anaheim, Gazette office and Joseph Helmsen's, to say nothing of the buildings in the same block further down the street would also be destroyed. We blankets were suspended from the awnings in front of Cahen's and Rimpau's stores and before the large plate glass windows of the Bank. A hose was attached to the hydrant sunk in the sidewalk in front of the bank and conducted to the roof of the building occupied by the Gazette On the roof of this building was stationed a bucket brigade, and the building was thoroughly soaked. This undoubtedly saved the premises. The cornices and roof of the brick annex to the hotel were on fire but were extinguished and the fire was confined to the burning frame. By 4 o'clock nothing remained of the famous old hostelry but a mass of burning embers. The loss is estimated at $15,000, but is probably below that figure. The insurance is $9,600. Joseph Helmsen was a trifle nervous during the progress of the fire. He had purchased the Melrose building on Center street squared opposite the hotel and had received the deed to the property just the day before the fire. He did not feel particularly jubilant at the prospect of losing the building after paying a big price for it and owning it for just a day. Ralph McFadden and wife and W. T. Wallop and wife motored down to San Diego, Friday and spent a couple of days at the fair. They report San Diego crowded with tourists, 20,000 autos it was estimated, being in the city on Sunday. On Tuesday County Assessor Sleeper turned his 1915 assessment books over to the Board of Supervisors, which began sitting as a Board of equalization. The totals as made up in the assessor's office shows Orange county's assessment to be $52,092,060, exclusive of railroad assessments, which will be made by the state in September. Last year's assessment was $51,-322,590, making a gain of $769,-570 for this year. Fred Marsh and wife left last week for San Francisco where they spent a few days at the ex-Gazette was situated: The three buildings were entirely destroyed. The discipline of the fire company being most atrocious. Nothing was saved from the Gazette office, everything being consumed by the flames. The paper was issued again however, in two weeks, an entire new outfit having in the meantime been secured in San Francisco. The loss sustained by this fire was probably $25,000 with nominal insurance. The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary origin. Another disastrous fire was that of the burning of Heiman & Sorenson's fruit-dryer a short time before the last fire described. On last Wednesday evening the Chosen Friends installed officers for the ensuing year. After the ceremonies a sumptuous supper was served. The following are the officers: F. C. Smythe, P. C.; W. H. Avery, C.; Miss Clara Mosseman, V. C.; Mrs. Emma Seale, Prelate; E. A. White, Secretary; Theo Rimpau, Treasurer; Mrs. Louisa Lewis, Marshal; Miss Emma Schneider, Warden; G. Davis, Guard; Mrs. E. A.

He did not feel particularly jubilant at the prospect of losing the building after paying a big price for it and owning it for just a day. Anaheim has had some costly blazes in the past. This is the second time the Planters hotel has been burned. The first hotel was burned to the ground at midnight on June 23, 1871. Strange to say, the Gazette office, situated diagonally across the street was threatened, along with the other buildings that converged on the four corners, quite as badly as on Saturday morning. The building in which the paper was situated was on fire in places at one time, but was saved by heroic work. The hotel was at that time owned by John Fischer, now city assessor of Los Angeles. The lately destroyed hotel was built upon the ruins of the old. The loss was $15,000, insurance $6000. Another small fire occurred on the lot some years before the hotel destroyed in 1871 was erected, but little damage was done. At midnight on Wednesday, January 10, 1877, probably the most disastrous fire that ever visited Anaheim broke out in the two story building that stood on the corner of Los Angeles and First North streets, opposite the Odd Follows hall. The building was owned by Peter Richards. The fire communicated with a one-story structure owned by F. Conrad and thence swept over to an adjoining two-story building owned by Mrs. Kuchel, and in which the officers: F. C. Smythe, P. C.; W. H. Avery, C.; Miss Clara Mosseman, V. C.; Mrs. Emma Seale, Prelate; E. A. White, Secretary; Theo. Rimpau, Treasurer; Mrs. Louisa Lewis, Marshal; Miss Emma Schneider, Warden; G. Davis, Guard; Mrs. E. A. White, Sentry. Ticket No. 64, held by Miss Minnie Zeyn, won the picture "The Christ Child," raffled at St. Catherine's Academy on Friday last. Miss Zeyn was present and occupied a seat alongside of the picture, a fact referred to as worthy of note by one of the Dominican Sisters. There were 480 tickets sold, 190 of them being held by parties out of town. One lady of Los Angeles bought 100 tickets, and tickets were held as far away as Sacramento. The Mother Superior of the Convent is greatly pleased that the picture is to remain in Anaheim. The Dominican Sisters are noble women and that their academy may ever flourish is the wish of all. The population of Anaheim is placed at 1,575 by the latest returns of the census. This takes in the outside districts. Orange and West Orange have 1200, Pomona 3,000, San Pedro 1,200, Santa Barbara 5,650, National City 1,330, Colton 1,150, San Jacinto 1,350.

Earel of Santa Ana EXCHANGE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN PRODUCING OUTSTANDING RESULTS Never before have so many voluntary and encouraging reports come in from the eastern sales offices to indicate that the present advertising campaign is really selling fruit, reports Russell Z. Eller, advertising manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. He recounted that the summer campaign had opened with widespread use of daily and weekly newspapers, backed by magazines, outdoor, national network and spot radio and an augmented dealer service program. "Using 2700 small town weekly newspapers, a list of farm papers and almost double our previous dealer service effort with 25 additional men working exclusively in smaller markets, we have real national coverage on Valencia oranges this summer," Eller stated. He brought out the fact that the wisdom of this new advertising strategy was confirmed by the distribution survey now being made by the Exchange, from which preliminary reports show rural areas are very promising ground for more consumer advertising and dealer service. “This coverage costs money and was only made possible by the increased valencia advertising appropriation voted by Exchange directors last April,” Eller pointed out. To show the impact of the volume of personal trade work now being done, the 54 dealer service men last week (week ending June 15) called on 2,688 dealers in 278 cities and towns in 30 states and four provinces of Canada. They put in 1,745 food stores and fountain displays and personally distributed 18,107 pieces of Sunkist display material. The California Fruit exchange is investing one dollar in Sunkist and Valencia advertising this campaign. This force is now our force. National retail grocers assured their support by extra sales efforts through season. Heavy offering lencias are being made markets this week. Regu shipments to maintain a market is being handled shippers. Cash in on the dollar Sunkist campaign.
