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 October 23, 1890 A. Guy Smith of Tustin was in town yesterday in the interests of his candidacy for Assemblyman. Orange county should have a representative in the legislature, Los Angeles county has the Senator from this district, and in asking for the Assemblyman also is, to put it mildly, rather "crowding the mourners." We want the Assemblyman from this county and propose to elect him. Mrs. Leonard Parker died on Wednesday last, aged 69 years. The funeral occurred on Thursday. Frank Ey was director of the services and pallbearers were Messrs. Wm. Konig, J. P. Zeyn, Dr. Gardiner and L. Schorn. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Parker arrived in Anaheim in 1871. At that time the site of their beautiful home place, a mile east of town was a waste of cactus and brush. Now a handsome two story home surrounded by a splendid orchard of oranges and other fruits and a garden filled with lovely flowers have transformed the desert into a spot of beauty. Clouds of dust rolled down Center and Los Angeles streets yesterday and Tuesday. The street sprinkler is taking a temporary rest, as the water in the city works is short on account of scarcity of fuel. Hurry up the fuel and 25 Years Ago October 28, 1915 Attorney E. E. Keech of Santa Ana is the new president of the Orange County Bar association, succeeding Attorney F. C. Daniel.

Head, Santa Ana; secretary, J. C. Burke, Santa Ana; assistant secretary, John Clarkson, Santa Ana. Lee Daniels, S. M. Reinhaus and W. W. Simon were appointed a committee to make arrangements for a banquet to be held some time in November. Good talks on law procedure and practice were given by Judge Z. B. West and Judge W. H. Thomas. Buena Park has had three sets of investors during the last week looking over the town site for subdivision lots to be put on the market. Very fancy prices have been offered. Plans are on for a building and loan association to be established at the Park to build the homes that are need there. This in connection with the new bank, will work wonders for the town. The Travel Section of the Ebell Now a handsome two story home surrounded by a splendid orchard of oranges and other fruits and a garden filled with lovely flowers have transformed the desert into a spot of beauty. Clouds of dust rolled down Center and Los Angeles streets yesterday and Tuesday. The street sprinkler is taking a temporary rest, as the water in the city works is short on account of scarcity of fuel. Hurry up the fuel and sprinkle the streets. An incipient Santa Ana wind started in to blow on Monday evening, continuing during the night and Tuesday rendering things very disagreeable. Yesterday was uncomfortably warm, and Tuesday reminded one of summer. The Santa Ana zephyr and fires on the hills east of town were the cause. The total number of names upon the Great Register is 3,118 which our esteemed contemporary the Blade says, utterly surprises everybody who had hazarded a guess on the probable number. No one had estimated over 2,900, and a majority of guesses were considerably under that number. John Hart's little three-year-old daughter had the misfortune on the fleshy part of the left thumb Monday evening to fall and cut on a broken cuspidor. Dr. Bullard dressed the wound and the little patient is getting along as well as could be expected. R. Q. Wickham and Henry Neill of Santa Ana are two lucky mortals. Each wins a prize in the Examiner's census competition. Wickham wins a $500 lot in Berkeley, and Neill gets a magic lantern. A red-headed man for luck. Neill is red headed. Mrs. Boyd, Miss Kraemer, Miss Roberts and Miss Higgins have been elected delegates to represent the Presbyterian Sunday school of this city at the convention to be held at Orange on the 25th inst.

UNITE THIS DEMOGRACY WITH A MAIL PLEDGED TO THESE VITAL PRINCIPLES National Defense —A defense system so strong that no nation will dare to strike at us—to build for America an army, a navy and above all, an air force that will safeguard our safety. Production —It is America's first duty—supremely necessary to prove the productive superiority of the American system. National Defense —A defense system so strong that no nation will dare to strike at us—to build for America an army, a navy and above all, an air force that will safeguard our safety. Production —It is America's first duty—supremely necessary to prove the productive superiority of the American system—to serve Democracy, that totalitarianism does not dominate the world. Relief —a continuation of relief so long as any man in America is out of a job. In many sections, relief workers are coerced to vote. We will not exchange bread for votes. Labor —full support of employed labor in every social gain made through the past decades of labor movements. Social Security —for social security and social security benefits...and they should be extended to other groups who do not yet enjoy them...that we insure against unemployment, and that our old age be protected with adequate pensions. Foreign Relations —The American People do not want war—we have no idea of joining any conflict. It is our determination to keep America at peace—with adequate defense and unity—not dictatorship in our own country. The Third Term heads away from Democracy and Peace—and moves toward Dictatorship and War. Preserve America.
