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 20, 1890 Col. Keith informs us that he has shipped 136,383 pounds of walnuts from Anaheim this season. This aggregates seven carloads. The price paid is about 9 cents. This will bring $12,274 into the valley. Max Nebelung has shipped 40 tons of walnuts at the same price, his shipments will bring in $7,200. The walnut crop of the valley will amount this season to $20,000. Mr. Kroeger gathered 260 pounds of nuts from one tree. At 9 cents this would be $23.40. If these trees are planted forty feet apart, giving twenty-seven trees per acre, the income will be $631 per acre. There is money in walnuts. R. H. Gilman finished shipping his walnut crop on Tuesday. His crop amounts to twenty-two tons, and brought him in something over $4,000. Now, that the walnuts are gone, Mr. Gilman finds his attention taken up in looking after his orange crop which will be large. Last year his oranges sold for $7,200, and he is looking for quite as much from them this season.

At one end of the bridge there is a straight drop of more than a foot. A number of autos were damaged while crossing the bridge Sunday. One auto owner said he saw five autos tied up there at one time and cannot understand how the occupants escaped injury. It is one of the most dangerous points in Southern California, especially for travelers at night. Unless the drop is filled in at once Los Angeles county may be called upon to pay heavy damages sooner or later.
