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 February 5, 1891 The fruit growers of Orange county met at Santa Ana on Wednesday afternoon of last week for the purpose of discussing the advisability of making an exhibit at the citrus fair to be held in Los Angeles next month. A finance committee was appointed consisting of three members from Santa Ana and one from each of the outside fruit districts, whose duty it shall be to collect $2,000, or more if possible, to defray the expenses of the exhibit. The following are the committee: F. H. Keith, Anaheim; R. H. Gilman, Placentia; J. H. Crow, Tustin; Joel B. Parker, Orange; W. H. Whitaker, Fullerton and Buena Park; Mr. Ware, Garden Grove; Richard Harris, Westminster; G. L. Dean, Newport; Mr. Fuller, Capistrano; W. S. Taylor, Geo. E. Ford and E. A. White, Santa Ana. An alarm of fire was turned in at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning for a blaze at the residence of Joseph Bennerscheidt on Lemon street. The Fire Department was promptly on hand and at once proceeded to fight the fire. It was found that the blaze had started in one of the bedrooms downstairs, probably from a defective flue. Water was applied and the blaze extinguished. Loss nominal. The two sons of William Schumacher one day last week bagged 120 ducks in a day's hunt at the 25 Years Ago February 10, 1916 There is a possibility that the flood control scheme which began at a meeting in Anaheim on January 25, where it was proposed to organize a district extending from Yorba to the Fifth street bridge embracing an area of 75,000 acres, then was enlarged to proportions that embraced almost the entire county, has again been expanded and that Riverside and San Bernardino counties will join with Orange and that the turbulent stream will be bottled up within a prescribed channel from its source and the headwaters of its tributaries to its mouth. At the meeting of the committee of fifty held at the Santa Ana city hall Monday afternoon one hundred and fifty interested people were present. Chairman Eygabroad called the meeting to order. Secretary F. N. Gibbs had charge of the minutes. S. C. Hartranft offered the following motion which was recorded by J. Allan Knapp. The motion was: Resolved, that we proceed to organize Orange county or so much of it as is legally possible into a district for the conservation of irrigation waters and for the control of flood waters in the rivers and creeks of the county. In speaking of this motion the following gentlemen brought out many facts and ideas: Lew H. Wallace of Newport Beach, Engineer Halliday, R. D. Richards of Seal Beach, J. C. Melzar, H. R. Miss Lucille Roquet To Clark Brown off During Party Last Night Friends invited to a pre-shower for Miss Lucille Roquet were surprised to learn of recent marriage to Clark Brown when they met at the home of C. Roquet of 730 N. Zeylan Thursday evening. The announcement was during the course of the event by scrolls reading "Lucille Clark, January 25, Las Vegas." The news was attached to rite coming from an orange-black laden silver tray. Mrs. M. Roquet, mother of the assisted in hostess duties. The new Mr. and Mrs. B were accompanied to Las Vegas by Miss Vanice Tabler and Mrs. Wetzel of Santa Ana. The was attractively dressed in olive frock with brown accessory and wore gardenias at shoulder. "Cootie" was the diversion evening, with prizes going to Lois Roquet and Mrs. J. G. B. The Roquet home was co-ordinated in pastel shirts with pottery vases centering refreshment tables. Swedes were about the room. Ice weddings bells and small frosted with lilies of the carried out the bridal motif. The new Mrs. Brown is auate of Anaheim union school, class of 1937. She graduated from Fullerton junior college in 1940 and during her two there was active in many activities, including presiding the Women's Athletic association and a member of the Lambda Sigma. In high school was a leader of athletics member of Girl Reserves. bride is well-known for her The two sons of William Schumacher one day last week bagged 129 ducks in a day's hunt at the Bolsas beach. The elder shot 101 and the other, a mere lad, 28. This is excellent shooting and breaks the record. If old man Schumacher had been along the duck slaughter would have been simply indescribable. As luck would have it he was at home ill in bed. F. H. Keith has traded his thirteen acre orange grove, on the corner of North and Palm streets to J. Rutledge of Santa Ana, taking in exchange the latter's paint, oil and wall paper store situated at the latter place. Mr. Keith has already taken charge of his place of business, and Mr. Rutledge will move to the orchard in a day or two. Amos Jennings has accepted a situation with Mr. Keith and took up his duties Saturday last. Alex Henry, who returned from San Francisco a couple of days ago, has since been confined to his home with sickness. He is improving and expects to be out again soon. It is probable that our citizens will soon be called upon to vote on the question of issuing $10,000 in bonds for the improvement of our streets and city water works. The latter are in urgent need of repair and our streets are perfectly disgraceful. Center street should be graveled from depot to depot, Los Angeles street given attention and the various side streets repaired and put in good condition. This is a matter which concerns every citizen and should meet with the approval of all of our progressive men. Mrs. Eva Boldt died at the home of her daughter Mrs. Gustav Heiman in Los Angeles on Friday last. She was aged 66 years. The funeral occurred in this city on Sunday morning. Deceased was one of the Pioneers of Anaheim, having arrived here in 1862. Services were conducted by Father Stoetters from the Catholic church. Pallbearers were H. Werder, T. J. F.

In speaking of this motion the following gentlemen brought out many facts and ideas: Lew H. Wallace of Newport Beach, Engineer Halliday, R. D. Richards of Seal Beach, J. C. Melzar, H. R. English of Santa Ana, Dr. J. D. Thomas of Olive, Samuel Kraemer of Placentia, Gus Stern of Fullerton and a number of others spoke enthusiastically in favor of a county proposition. After some discussion a motion was adopted to appoint a committee to wait upon the supervisors and decide upon an adequate plan and report to a meeting one week later at the Santa Ana city hall. The accompanying illustration shows Boss Crowther of the Anaheim Water company astride his firey untamed steed, surveying the havoc wrought by floods at the headgates in Santa Ana canyon. The toll of loss at this point and in Bedrock canyon, where the upper canal was completely washed out, will total $50,000.00 Accompanying Mr. Crowther on Wednesday last when he made a trip up the river canyon, were other members of the board of directors, Secretary Wallop and Superintendent McFadden. As a result of the inspection trip the company will immediately begin repair work at the headgate and in Horseshoe bend, where two flumes, each 1000 feet in length, will supercede the present curved ditch. Few people know that the Boss, beside his many other accomplishments, is a fine horseman and when it was decided to make a trip up River canyon, to note the losses caused by the flood, he procured the best horse he could find, and accompanied by his associate directors. Secretary Wallop and Superintendent McFadden made the trip to the head of the ditch. The picture was snapped by Secretary Wallop as the Boss was viewing the wrecked headgate in River canyon.

There will be a meeting of all those interested in the building of The Anaheim and Chino railroad at Kroeger's hall tomorrow evening. The subscribers to stock are already numerous and the enterprise will be assured of success if our citizens will take hold of it and push it along. Let there be a large crowd in attendance. This railroad to Chino is the greatest thing that has struck this town for many a day. Get together and talk railroad. Theo. Pinther is busily engaged in packing oranges, his base of operations being the old Conrad brewery on Adele street. Mr. Pinther has purchased the crops of several of our best orchards and is shipping none but first-class fruit. Great Britain turns out three billions buttons annually in its factories.

Feb. 6, 1941 LEADERSHIP • Two of our greatest leaders—Washington and Lincoln—were born in February. Each followed the same policy, the rigid standard, of honesty. Lincoln, himself, was once a grocer who walked miles after shop hours one night to rectify an error. It is honesty such as this — honest weight, honest value, honest quality, honesty between the clerk and the customer, that is proof of our leadership in the community.
