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 November 13, 1890 The completion of the census recalls the fact that no country in Europe, except Russia, has a population as large as this, and in no other land do the people fare so well. It is estimated that this country's population of 62,500,000 are able to consume more of the products of human labor than a population of 150,000,000 anywhere else on earth. Statistics show the United States consumes 28 per cent of the world's crop of sugar, and 30 per cent of the entire crop of coffee. We consume a third of the steel, copper and lead production, a fourth of the cotton and wool, half of the tin and a third of the India rubber. John Hartung has one or two promising two-year-olds. He set out on Saturday last to speed them at the Santa Ana race course. One of the horses, which bids fair to rival Sunol as a flyer, started away and was at the quarter pole in a jiffy, made the half-mile in a twinkling, turned into the back stretch like a streak of lightening, shot down the home stretch like a cannon ball, and passed under the wire in—just eight minutes. John declares he never drove a horse so fast in his life, and is of opinion that his watch was out of gear to the tune of about five minutes and three quarters. 25 Years Ago November 18, 1915 Representatives of the Auto Club of Southern California are busily engaged in erecting from 400 to 500 road signs in Orange county, the work to require a few weeks. A party began erecting these signs late last week near Seal Beach, working northward past Alamitos toward Norwalk posting the roads to aid motorists traveling thereon. Already about fifty signs have been erected. Before the work is completed, all the main roads in the county will have been covered, and signs giving warnings, directions and distances erected at the turns, grades and railroad tracks. The signs are made of enameled steel, with steel posts, providing a guiding sign for motorists which will last a lifetime. Orange county is the first of four counties which will be posted in the near future. Besides the highways in this county, Riverside, San Diego and Imperial county roads are to be marked. The Santa Fe trail as far as Kansas City has been posted, each sign bearing the sign of the "Auto Club of So. California. A collision between an automobile and a buggy at the intersection of North Philadelphia and Center streets Monday evening resulted in considerable damage to the buggy, but neither the horse nor driver was injured. Albert Deputy Constable Santos Carrisosa arrested a Mexican named Martinez at Puente on Monday, on a charge of attempt to commit murder in Los Angeles last week. Martinez made his escape after the shooting, but was captured by Carrisosa and taken back to Los Angeles. He is now in the Los Angeles jail. Quite a shower of rain fell on Wednesday night of last week, followed by showers on Thursday. The mountains to the north are snow-capped which accounts for the cool nights and mornings of the past week. John Bush was down on a visit from Bakersfield last week. He still owns his ranch north of Olive, but gives his entire attention to his business interests at Bakersfield. "Uncle John" is getting a little gray, but claims he is as young as he was twenty years ago. While he may not be so young, he is quite as good looking. The ladies of Malvern Hill Relief corps are making great preparations for their anniversary ball, which takes place on Tuesday the 25th instant.

The Santa Fe trail as far as Kansas City has been posted, each sign bearing the sign of the "Auto Club of So. California. A collision between an automobile and a buggy at the intersection of North Philadelphia and Center streets Monday evening resulted in considerable damage to the buggy, but neither the horse nor driver was injured. Albert Portillo was driving the buggy, traveling west on Center street and just as he was passing North Philadelphia P. Frohm, in an auto, coming from the opposite direction made the turn into Philadelphia and struck the buggy amidship. One wheel was badly dished and a wheel broken, but otherwise little damage was done. Neither the man nor the horse was injured.
