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 December 25, 1890 Old Baldy, capped with its beautiful crest of snow, is a magnificent sight these mid-winter afternoons, viewed through a glass, as the beams of the low descending sun, lighting up the scene, counts another worthy action done. The ladies of Anaheim and Fullerton who will receive calls on New Year's, and who wish to have the fact announced publicly, may do so by sending their names to this office during the week, to be announced in our next issue. Names should be sent in as early as possible after Tuesday morning, and not later than Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock. C. A. Bailey of the Olinda ranch informs us that he has leased 700 acres of the ranch to parties who will put in corn, barley, etc., during the coming season. The Olinda ranch comprising four thousand acres of the best land in southern California is just about this time at its best, so far as natural grasses are concerned. The hills are covered with a luxuriant growth, and stock are rolling fat. This is the usual story of the Olinda stock—they are always rolling fat. Mr. Bailey advertises pasturage. Read his advertisement. One of the largest real estate transactions that have been noted lately is the transfer of 1,110 acres of the Land Company’s Los Coyotes rancho to Domingo Bastenchury, the consideration being $44,000. The first payment of $20,000 was made on Tuesday Mr. Bastenchury drawing his check for that amount on the Bank of Anaheim. The land is to be used for 25 Years Ago December 30, 1915 Six hundred children, ranging in age from two years to an indefinite figure gathered around the municipal Christmas tree at the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets Friday evening for the purpose of greeting Santa Claus and each received a hearty welcome and went away with a present. It is estimated that more than five thousand people witnessed the festivities. The tree was a beautiful pine, 20 feet high, brought from Gen. Royer's place by the Board of Trade. It was planted in the center of the square, a hole having been excavated in the pavement for it. Flags and streamers and numerous red, green and white lights were strung from its branches, while the Star of Bethlehem appeared on the apex. The tree was dedicated Wednesday night by the Anaheim city band with a concert which was listened to by an immense crowd of people from all sections of Orange county. Christmas came to the 152 children at St. Catherine’s orphanage a day late this year, as the annual entertainment was held Sunday afternoon, but it was welcomed with just as much joy as it would have been had the date been the 25th. Santa Claus presided, and the boys lined up around long tables, loaded with presents. The room was decorated with red and green and a beautiful tree stood in the center. Santa Claus, who in every-day life is Frank Maurer presented the presents and everybody was happy.

The first payment of $20,000 was made on Tuesday Mr. Bastenchury drawing his check for that amount on the Bank of Anaheim. The land is to be used for farming and grazing purposes. The police made a raid on a Chinese fan tan game on Saturday evening and corralled four heathen, about twenty others making their escape in the confusion. The four were placed in jail, liberated shortly afterward on bail, conveyed into the august presence of Squire Landell on Monday morning and fined $6 apiece. Great is the majesty of the law. At the regular meeting of the Masonic lodge on Monday evening the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: W. M., McFadden, W. M.; J. S. Gardiner, S. W.; T. E. Cone, J. W.; W. M. Higgins, Treasurer; H W. Chynowith, Secretary. The meeting was the last over which W. M. P. Davis presided. The election of Mr. Chynowith relieves Dr. Gardiner of the duties of the office which he has filled for nine years. The Doctor was promoted to J. W. and is correspondingly happy. The advertisement of Otto des Granges, who does plowing and hauling at reasonable rates, will be found elsewhere. Otto guarantees satisfaction, and all orders are promptly filled. He is a painstaking businessman and any work entrusted to his care will be sure of prompt and satisfactory handling. The six entertainments given at Santa Ana last week for the purpose of raising money for the county advertising fund netted quite a comfortable amount. In the neighborhood of $350 was realized, but there are some expenses to pay. The work of our dramatic club on the opening night is very highly spoken of. Judge Landell says that his one ambition since he has been in office has been to marry somebody—that is to perform the ceremony for someone else. As no one has appeared up to date, he says that in order to start the ball, he a day late this year, as the annual entertainment was held Sunday afternoon, but it was welcomed with just as much joy as it would have been had the date been the 25th. Santa Claus presided, and the boys lined up around long tables, loaded with presents. The room was decorated with red and green and a beautiful tree stood in the center. Santa Claus, who in every-day life is Frank Maurer presented the presents and everybody was happy. After presentation of the presents an entertainment took place in the big hall in the basement of the orphanage. A play depicting the birth of Christ was given. All the participants with the exception of the choir were boys belonging to the institution, and they were costumed to fit the parts. At the close of the performance the sisters announced that all the doors of the building were thrown open and they would be pleased to escort the visitors through it. Most of the large audience took advantage of the opportunity to see the big establishment. The tenth anniversary meeting of the class of 1905 Anaheim high school was held at the home of Percy Bradford at Placentia Tuesday evening. The evening was enjoyably spent in playing cards. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Borth, Mr. and Mrs. V. W. LaMont, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Swope, Mr. and Mrs. Merton Skinner, Leonard Evans, Percy Bradford, and Herman Christiansen of Garden Grove. An interesting letter from Harold Pellegrin now of Aberdeen, Maryland, was read. The wood in the old Olive bridge is for sale and anyone desiring the same should communicate with Frank Davis, who was appointed to dispose of the old structure. Money derived from this source is to be applied to the diking fund, The obstructions, such as cables, flumes, cement blocks and an old derrick, which were left by the contractors in the stream south of the bridge, must be removed at once, as these have a tendency to turn the flow of the water. All the unsaleable wooden material will be burned in order to get rid of it. President C. E. Holcomb of the First National Bank played Santa Claus and gave each one of the employees of that institution a ten dollar gold piece on Christmas eve. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Herman and two children of Long Beach visited with George Zeigler on Christmas quite a comfortable amount. In the neighborhood of $350 was realized, but there are some expenses to pay. The work of our dramatic club on the opening night is very highly spoken of. Judge Landell says that his one ambition since he has been in office has been to marry somebody—that is to perform the ceremony for someone else. As no one has appeared up to date, he says that in order to start the ball, he is willing to remit to the first customer part of his legal fee of five dollars. Here's a chance! At the meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 199, I. O. O. F., held on Tuesday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Oliver Hill, N. G.; Wm. McClintock, V. G.; W. R. Harker, Secretary; J. P. Zeyn, Treasurer. A Farmers Alliance with eight members was formed at Kroeger's hall on Tuesday evening by D. Edson Smith of Santa Ana.

Jennings of Lincoln, Neb., are visiting with Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Cadman. Richard Krebs is down from Fresno on a visit to his family, to remain during the holidays. A little more rain, Jupiter Pluvius, if you please. Just to lay the dust. President C. E. Holcomb of the First National Bank played Santa Claus and gave each one of the employees of that institution a ten dollar gold piece on Christmas eve. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Herman and two children of Long Beach visited with George Zeigler on Christmas day. Mrs. Herman is a niece of Mr. Zeigler. Mrs. J. F. C.
