IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extra: 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 July 17, 1890 The California Editorial association met at Santa Barbara where the beautiful Channel city overflowing with hospitality entertained two hundred newspaper men and women at what was one of the most enjoyable meetings held by the association. The Arlington hotel was headquarters for the editors and everything possible was done for their comfort. The city was in gala attire, streamers bearing the word "Welcome" stretched across State street. At a meeting in the opera-house Tuesday evening presided over by the Mayor of the city, Senator Storke gave an address of welcome after which President Ayers responded. Madame Modjeska had been invited to be present as the honored guest of the association and after being introduced made a short address from which we quote briefly: "I highly appreciate the honor and kindness of the invitation which brought me here. For years my connection with your profession was very close. I find among them so many friends that I almost imagine myself one of the family. But it is the California Press, especially, which has a strong claim upon me. It generously encouraged my first efforts in a foreign language and thus opened to me the entrance to the English speaking stage. California is my adopted country. I am proud to be adopted member of the Golde. It was to its enchanting shores that I first turned my steps when I left my 25 Years Ago July 15, 1915 Once again the question of river protection is before the people. The matter was discussed at the Board of Trade meeting Monday. A committee consisting of Oscar Renner, Judge Howard and G. L. Deitrich, recently met with the supervisors to protest against the destruction of the Olive bridge until the new one is constructed. The supervisors propose to tear out the old bridge and use the material in constructing approaches to the new one. They ask us to raise $3000 to dyke the river from the bridge up, they agree to donate $2500 toward the work. The proposition was taken under advisement. The proposition to engage a secretary for the board of trade who will devote his entire time to the work was brought to a head. Representatives of the Merchants association agreed to pay $35 per month of the salary and the board of trade $65 making the secretary's salary $100 per month. J. W. Duckworth was recommended for the position. He agreed to let them know after he had given the matter due consideration. The meeting was held at the Palm Cafe on East Center street. About forty Broadway property owners met in a mass meeting at the library on Tuesday evening to discuss the parking feature on that thoroughfare. Henry Adams was elected chairman and F. N. Gibbs secretary. The paving of Broadway with central and side parkings was discussed from friends that I almost imagine myself one of the family. But it is the California Press, especially, which has a strong claim upon me. It generously encouraged my first efforts in a foreign language and thus opened to me the entrance to the English speaking stage. California is my adopted country. I am proud to be adopted member of the Daughters of the Golde. It was to its enchanting shores that I first turned my steps when I left my native land, and it is in its heavenly atmosphere and among its warm-hearted and hospitable inhabitants that I intend to spend the rest of my life." The Madame was loudly applauded for her effort. Later in the evening she held a reception at the hotel where she graciously received the members of the press. The Gazette man was honored by the distinguished lady who has a great affection for Anaheim. Another high light of the meeting was the visit to the celebrated Mission of the Franciscan Fathers which has stood for 108 years. Under the guidance of Father Fox who has lived in the monastery for 38 years we were shown through the chapel and the sacred Mission garden into which the foot of woman has not stepped since the establishment of the monastery. There are now fourteen monks within the sacred walls. Of the twenty-one missions founded by the Franciscan Fathers in California, Santa Barbara is the only one remaining to them and that, as we have observed is a monastery. In the garden is an orange tree one hundred years old, a lemon tree over that age and a fig tree that was old when the friar entered the monastery thirty-eight years ago. The business session on Wednesday evening was a veritable love feast, the editors from both north and south rejoicing that we live in a grand and glorious commonwealth — always undivided. The question of state division went into the limbo of forgotten things. Editors Otis, Ayers and Osborne affirmed they "never said any such thing" or, having said it, hadn't meant it. A number of able papers read by the editors were listened to with great interest. On Thursday the association visited the Hope ranch and Olive orchard of Elwood Cooper fifteen miles north of Santa Barbara. About forty Broadway property owners met in a mass meeting at the library on Tuesday evening to discuss the parking feature on that thoroughfare. Henry Adams was elected chairman and F. N. Gibbs secretary. The paving of Broadway with central and side parkings was discussed from many angles. Residents on West Broadway opposed paving acreage property. The parking feature, however, was the bone of contention as it is understood the trustees intend to order paving at once. The meeting finally decided in favor of paving and to put in a central park, provided the city trustees guarantee to maintain the latter in first class shape. A committee consisting of H. W. Braden, Ben Dauser and Dr. F. H. Houck were appointed to wait upon the trustees Friday night and inform them to that effect. Among those who spoke opposing the parking were Alex Henry, Mrs. Grimshaw, Miss Elenora Parker, Mrs. Hahn, F. C: Rimpau, S. Lybarger, Oliver Hill, L. Goble and R. C. Spoerl. A number favored the new parking idea among them were Dr. H. A. Johnston, Frank Baum, Ben Dauser. Miss Sarah Fay McKinley was married at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Sarah J. Fay, on Wednesday afternoon last, LeRoy McWerthy of San Francisco being the groom. Miss McKinley is the daughter of Mrs. C. G. McKinley. Rev. David Todd Gillmor was the officiating clergyman. After the ceremony the young couple left for San Francisco where they will make their home.

In opening his address Judge Harrison told his audience that 30 years ago he was a typewriter salesman working in Orange county. During the intervening years he learned two important lessons, he said. The first was that courteous and decent treatment of his fellow man was an important factor in life. The second was that this "is a land of opportunities, a great land and a great democracy." Referring to the remark of Judge Harry C. Westover, who introduced him, that this may be his last public speech, Judge Harrison declared, "I will speak at every opportunity on Americanism and the cause of democracy.

Vance Hoyt WALKS AND TALKS WITH NATURE— BOTANICAL FACTORY—Few persons know that the largest starch factory in the world is in the foliage of trees. The conversion of the elements of soil and atmosphere into starch—glucose, or sugar, the food of all plant life—by the leaves of trees and shrubs, is one of the chemical wonders in Nature. Each leaf is a laboratory within itself. It is encased in a delicate transparent membrane, with microscopic pores scattered over its under surface. Through these tiny openings the tree breathes and establishes a ventilation of gas and water evaporation with more than one hundred thousand pores to every square inch of under-leaf surface. The roots gather mineral salts and water from the soil that circulate up through the vascular channels of the tree the leaves, whose surfaces have been complex molecules of starch. This breaking down of water and carbon dioxide, and the reuniting of their free atoms into starch is brought about by the energy of sunlight acting upon the leaf green, or chlorophyl, as a chemical agent. One should watch to know what his errors are; and if this watching destroys his peace in error, should one watch against such a result? He should not. Mary Baker Eddy. O. J. Freeman, formerly sales manager for a large Los Angeles bottling company, has purchased the plant and equipment of the Anaheim Beverage company at 404 South Claudina street, he announced yesterday.
