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 September 4, 1890 Anaheim Landing Echoes The season is nearly over at Anaheim Landing which is one of the most charming resorts on the coast, but still there are numerous campers here. Twice each day old and young don their bathing suits and enjoy a dash into the wild waves. The bay, with its still water is the resort of the experts for swimming and diving, among whom we find Messrs. Gade and Betz and Misses Stone and Roberts. Mrs. Hunter's cottage has a new coat of white paint. Mrs. Hunter has a kind word for all and distributes her fruit and smiles equally. Mrs. des Granges has her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Otto des Granges (nee Jennie Gardiner) of Los Angeles and Miss Mollie Gardiner of Orangethorpe with her. One of the most popular camps is that of Mrs. H. D. Polhemus and there is always a warm welcome for the many that she entertains. Among her recent guests have been Mrs. Herrick and two children of Phoenix, Messrs. Thorndyke of Boston, E. M. Hanna of Los Angeles, Mr. Danforth of Miraflores, H. D. Polhemus caught the largest black perch of the season, in fact he thought it was a whale. Miss Mae Polhemus gave a watermelon party Thursday evening. 25 Years Ago September 2, 1915 Everybody was singing the praises of Newport harbor at the meeting of the Associated Chamber of Commerce of Orange county held at the Palisades Tavern at Balboa on Wednesday evening. About one hundred members of the Associated Chambers and their friends partook of the banquet served at the Tavern. Launches conveyed the party across the placid waters of the bay to and from the Tavern, a distance of a couple of miles. President Lew Wallace presided and called upon J. P. Greeley for the address of welcome. Prof. Greeley is one of the county's staunchest supporters of the contemplated Newport harbor. Hans V. Weisel of this city made a happy response to the address of welcome. Speeches were made by many from all sections of the county in favor of the contemplated harbor. It is claimed by well versed people that should one million dollars be expended upon the Newport harbor a better port could be established there than there now exists at San Pedro. Upon invitation of H. A. Wassum of Tustin the next meeting will be held at that place. Among the delegation from this city who attended the meeting were: R. J. McFadden, J. W. Duckworth, H. V. Weisel, Howard Krause, Robert Johnston, A. Lee, A. A. Mills, J. Seip, F. K. Kreswell and a representative of the Ga- Miss Mae Polhemus gave a watermelon party Thursday evening that was very enjoyable. Stella Lewis gave a farewell candy pull before leaving camp, Eda Warling and Fred Schumacher won prizes at the "donkey" game. The prizes, bouquets of shell flowers were made by the hostess. Mrs. Classen left on Monday. John Lane and family of Santa Ana and Miss Allie Davis of Anaheim left the same day. Mrs. Wallop has been quite sick, but has recovered. Miss Minnie Bowers and Miss Clara Baker of Santa Ana were here Saturday and Sunday. On Tuesday Mrs. Stredthoff and family packed up and moved home. Mrs. Hart's villa is again filled and will remain so for the next month. The warehouse has been very popular this year. There is talk of starting a new Republican evening paper in Santa Ana. Our neighboring city must be quite a literary center, not to be satisfied with the two dailies and four weekly papers already published in its midst. Mr. Reiser received a dispatch yesterday afternoon conveying the sad information that Henry Hammel of Los Angeles was dead. Mr. Reiser goes to Los Angeles this morning to attend the funeral. Deceased was about 55 years of age. Attention is called to the advertisement of Fred Maurer, who has bought the saloon of L. Bolz near the S. P. depot. Mr. Bolz will move his family to his home near the Fairview school house. The school house grounds have been cleaned and put in trim for the opening of school on Monday. The hedge around the lot has been trimmed, and the streets about the school cleaned of weeds. It is no exaggeration to say that our school grounds, excellently The residence of John Bonnett, just west of the city limits, was totally destroyed by fire, together with most of its contents at 7 o'clock Monday. The fire was caused by explosion of a gasoline stove on which Mrs. Bonnett was preparing supper, and but for the prompt action of Mrs. Leo Hund, a neighbor, who rushed in and smothered the flames with a tablecloth she would probably have been fatally burned. Dr. Truxaw was called and it was found that her burns were serious. The fire company responded promptly to the call but as this was outside the city limits no water was available and the house was a mass of flames before the arrival of the engine. The real estate deal between Harry W. Dyer and C. O. Humphrey of Long Beach has been completed. Mr. Humphrey takes the Dyer ranch on North Lemon street at a valuation of $34,000 and Mr. Dyer takes a residence and a row of flats at Long Beach and the balance in cash. Trustee John Brunwerth leaves tomorrow to attend the meeting of the League of California Municipalities at Oakland. Henry-Schulte of Orangethorpe attended the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Balboa on Wednesday and took great interest in the proceedings. Dr. Hauck, principal of the high school expects a registration of more than 300 students for the coming term. Registration begins Monday, September 6, School opens the following Monday. Mrs. Geo. Mattis and two daughters left Tuesday for San Francisco to attend the exposition. Under Sheriff Jack Iman was million dollars be expended upon the Newport harbor a better port could be established there than there now exists at San Pedro. Upon invitation of H. A. Wassum of Tustin the next meeting will be held at that place. Among the delegation from this city who attended the meeting were: R. J. McFadden, J. W. Duckworth, H. V. Weisel, Howard Krause, Robert Johnston, A. Lee, A. A. Mills, J. Seip, F. K. Kreswell and a representative of the Gazette. J. A. Bailey of Orange rog Oscar Heying, Anaheim druggi and young Johnnie Heying were fishing eight miles off Point Fenmin last Friday, and succeeded catching six barracuda, which ate eraged six pounds each. Each trio had landed two fish, while Dad Heying hooked a third keeping with a Heying tradition which holds that father can catch more fish than son, the seventh finny victim was tossed back into the ocean. "Skipper" Bailey outmaneuvered a 10-foot Hammerhead shark also out "fishing," so that it was unable to get at the sack of ba racuda trailing from the stern of the boat. He was not quite successful, however, when he gaged a huge wave, winding up the rock at the end of the Anheim jetty. As a result, the crew lost its rudder and Bailey got pants wet, but nobody was hurt and the vessel came in under own power. Richard L. Jewell Convalescing Nicely Richard L. Jewell, who unde went a major operation recent at the California hospital in Los Angeles, expects to return to home of his mother, Mrs. Lois Jewell on West North, Saturds Mr. Jewell is home on a furloughed from Venezuela, South America where he is employed by the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, and will leave Anaheim return to his work about September 15. The school house grounds have been cleaned and put in trim for the opening of school on Monday. The hedge around the lot has been trimmed, and the streets about the school cleaned of weeds. It is no exaggeration to say that our school grounds, excellently shaded with many large pepper and other trees are as fine as any in this part of the state. W. M. McFadden has returned from his trip to Fresno. He was very favorably impressed with the enormous grape crop seen in that county. He called to see Richard Krebs and found him busily at work preparing for this season's vintage. William Jerome of Tustin was in town on Monday shaking hands with his friends here away. Last year he made the race for sheriff, but this year he is out of politics. Neverthless he likes to get around and see his friends about election time. B. F. Porter leaves for the irrigation convention at Tulare on Monday next. On his return we shall give our readers the benefit of his observations while away. The Santa Fe gravel train is still at work ballasting and raising the Southern California track between here and Santa Fe Springs, to provide for the rainy season and guard against washouts. Editor Peabody of the Santa Ana Blade was reported to be in town on Monday, but a thorough search by our reporters failed to reveal his whereabouts. His transgression will be overlooked this time but, in future, instead of "passing" he will be expected to "call." Miss Jennie Burton, Dr. Hunt and Mr. Skinner have each purchased 10 acres of orange land in the Fairview tract on Kellogg avenue. Dr. G. J.H. Bailey has disposed of his drug store and has temporarily retired from business, owing to poor health. Miss Louise Schneider, a valued attache of this office, is sojourning at San Diego.

Insurance Firm’s Future Undecided Policy Holders in Santa Ana Company Await Result of Hearing Today Anaheim policy holders in the Alliance Mutual Life Insurance company of Santa Ana are awaiting with interest the outcome of a hearing to be held in Los Angeles on as yet unannounced date to determine the future of the concern. The court will hear arguments on the question of making permanent an order issued last Friday, turning over management of the insurance company to state officials, or granting a petition by the insurance company for an alternative writ of mandate, to force the state to issue a new certificate of authority to do business. In the order issued last Friday Judge Franklin West of Orange county appointed State Insurance Commissioner A. Caminetti, Jr., conservator of the company. The hearing was originally scheduled for today before Judge West, but Caminetti obtained a change of venue. Commissioner Caminetti’s petition, filed through Deputy Attorney General John L. Nourse, charges that C. W. Harrison and J. Wayne Harrison, father and son, president and vice president, respectively, of the Alliance Mutual Life Insurance company, have, by establishing themselves in control of the company through use of proxies, received excessive salaries and thus “wrongfully converted” profits of the company that should have been distributed as dividends.

The company asserts it has fulfilled all requirements and has not been guilty of any legal defaults. It is solvent and has approximately 5200 policy holders, whose rights and values would be jeopardized by the state's action, it claims. The company also charged that Caminetti knew his action would make it possible for the state to seize control of the company and liquidate it. The state has no intention of retaining permanent control of the insurance company, or operating it longer than necessary to reorganize its private management. Deputy Attorney General Nourse said. He emphasized that the company is solvent and should benefit rather than suffer harm from the state's intervention. “If we found it impossible to continue operation of the company safely for the policy holders, we would then seek to merge it with some other company,” Nourse said. Miss Jean Barry Enjoys Long Trip Miss Jean Barry, deputy tax collector for the city of Anaheim, is back in her office this week after an extended vacation trip to Havana, Cuba, and many points of interest throughout the United States. She travelled most of the time by automobile with friends from Blythe, but made the return trip from St. Paul, Minn., alone by train. Her companions have not yet returned from the tour.
