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 January 22, 1891 The semi-annual meeting of the Editorial association in Los Angeles last week was one long to be remembered. Tuesday and Wednesday were given up exclusively to business, in which was included the election of new members, revising the constitution and election of officers for the ensuing year. Thursday the members of the association accepted an invitation from the Redondo Beach company to visit that rapidly growing resort. The run down was made in an hour and, after registering the members were shown through the elegantly appointed hotel, where at noon they were entertained at an elaborate luncheon. Mayor Hazard and his charming wife were of the party and occupied seats of honor next the President of the association. After lunch an impromptu hop was enjoyed. The return trip was begun at 4:30. In the evening the newly elected president, Colonel Scipio Craig of Redlands, banqueted the members at the Nadeau. The menu was most elaborate and the wines excellent. There was a feast of reason and a flow of soul lasting until midnight, when the meeting of the association was declared ended. On Monday afternoon, during the prevalence of the high wind storm, John Wagner of Placentia, determined to burn the weeds on a tract of his land in Soquel canyon. This can be more advantageous. 25 Years Ago January 27, 1916 Probably no stream in California is more erratic, uncertain and unreliable than the Santa Ana river. According to officials and ex-officials who have kept tab on its actions, it has changed its channels no less than five times during the period since the white man arrived and has been able to record its movements. What it did in prehistoric days when it was not hindered by man is unknown, but it probably rambled around unhampered over Orange county, and made a new bed for itself when ever it got full. During the floods of last week the rampageous stream made three efforts to change its course and in one instance succeeded. This happened at its mouth. The silt carried down by the stream had blocked the mouth in Newport bay and thousands of acres of rich lowlands were under water. Engineers were figuring on cutting a new channel at an estimated cost of $25,000 when the stream itself saved them the expense. Starting across the county to the north, several miles above the mouth, it cut its way through the fields, the sand dunes, the Pacific Electric and the Southern Pacific railway, and discharged its waters into the ocean a mile and a half below Huntington Beach, and five miles above the old mouth. The flood waters were drained off through this channel and the situation throughout the entire length of the stream was relieved. The new Redlands, banqueted the members at the Nadeau. The menu was most elaborate and the wines excellent. There was a feast of reason and a flow of soul lasting until midnight, when the meeting of the association was declared ended. On Monday afternoon, during the prevalence of the high wind storm, John Wagner of Placentia, determined to burn the weeds on a tract of his land in Soquel canyon. This can be more advantageously done in windy weather and is a common occurrence, the danger being inconsequential. In this case, however, the fire got out of control and threatened to destroy a section of the fence enclosing Mr. Bailey's Olinda ranch. Mr. Wagner attempted to turn the fire but was encircled by the flames, and had to dash through the burning weeds to a place of safety. The unfortunate man had presence of mind enough to spring into his wagon which was standing near by and dash for home a couple of miles away. Zanjero Anderson working on the ditch not far away ran to his assistance and drove rapidly to the Wagner residence. Physicians were called and everything done to relieve his suffering. He was frightfully burned, but now is considered out of danger. Peter Richards, who recently expired at the Stockton insane asylum, was many years ago, a highly respected and well-to-do citizen of Anaheim, where his untimely taking-off is deplored. His wife and children have the sincere commiseration of all in their affliction. We have received the first number of the Fullerton Journal, published by Holcomb & Case, and devoted to the interests of our trans-sandwash country. We extend a welcome. The Anaheim Water company's Board of Audit—Messrs. Alex Wright, Max Nebelung and Dr. Pfeninger—have been engaged on the company's books for the past several days. They will make their report at Saturday's meeting. Manager Johnson has severed his connection with the Del Campo and left with his family for San Francisco on Monday morning. The big hotel will hereafter be under the management of Fred H. Miller, who will keep the hostelrie up to its usual standard of excellence. Success to him. saved them the expense. Starting across the county to the north, several miles above the mouth, it cut its way through the fields, the sand dunes, the Pacific Electric and the Southern Pacific railway, and discharged its waters into the ocean a mile and a half below Huntington Beach, and five miles above the old mouth. The flood waters were drained off through this channel and the situation throughout the entire length of the stream was relieved. The new channel is 1500 feet wide and will be permanent. About seventy-five men from all parts of Anaheim and its environs were present at the meeting of the Board of Trade Monday night, and the Keynote of the meeting was river protection. A committee was appointed to confer with citizens of neighboring towns as to the advisability of forming a protection district. The proposed district to include every acre of land lying west of the Santa Ana river, from the Fifth street bridge below Santa Ana and extend to the western county limits and thence north to the Santa Ana canyon road. The following gentlemen were appointed upon the committee: Charles Eygabroad, E. Borchert, Wm. Stark, E. N. Cook, John Ruether, John Kellenberger and F. N. Gibbs. There was a quiet wedding at St. Boniface church Monday morning when Miss Alois Aust became the bride of Joseph Carroll. Father J. F. Dubble performed the ceremony, and only a few relatives witnessed it. The serious illness of Mrs. Tim Carroll, mother of the groom, was the cause of the absence of wedding guests. Charles Carroll, brother of the groom, acted as best man and Mrs. Mary Wallace, his sister was bridesmaid. The young couple left the same day for the north and will spend their honeymoon in San Francisco and vicinity. Joseph Carroll is one of Anaheim's most prominent young businessmen. He is the son of the late Tim Carroll, one of the pioneers of this region, and one of Orange county's most prominent citizens. He invented the beet-dump now in universal use by American sugar factories and amassed a fortune out of it. The bride has no relatives in Anaheim, but has been making her home with Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Backs. During her residence here she has acquired a large circle of saved them the expense.

Their first meeting was held in Los Angeles on Tuesday and another meeting will be held on Saturday next. All growers in Orange county are invited to be present. This association has already borne good fruit. One of the largest audiences that ever assembled at the Opera house was present on Friday evening to witness the play "Esmeralda," by the Linden Dramatic company. The performance was excellent. The part of Mrs. Rogers, a "perfectly hateful" old lady was admirably portrayed by Minnie Zeyn, and Jack Landell was an ideal "hen pecked" husband. Mesdames Laura Bates and Clayton both showed histrionic talent. Ed Pellegrin, George Claytor and Billy Dunlap were fine. The stage setting under the direction of Mesdames Cahen and Koenig was rich and elegant. The Anaheim band and Prof. James orchestra discoursed music during the evening. The receipts of the entertainment go into the public library and reading fund. W. C.
