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 March 26, 1891 During the past week the soundings at Anaheim Landing, Bolsa Chica and Devil's Gate, a mile north of the mouth of New River, have demonstrated that splendid wharf sites exist for the terminus of the Anaheim and Chino railroad. That at Devil's Gate, where twenty-five feet of water may be had at low-tide 1800 feet out, will probably be selected as the terminus. The route through town has not been determined, but it will come in from the north and run not very far from the Southern California tracks. It will then continue to Santa Ana street and will make a bee line to Garden Grove and Westminster. North of town the route will be along the abandoned Anaheim and Pomona railroad, through the Olinda ranch, Brea canyon and on to Chino, Pomona, Ontario, Riverside and other points. A block of 100 shares of stock in the railroad was floated in San Francisco last week, we are reliably informed. Louis Bolz has opened up the favorite resort at Anaheim Landing, where campers and picnickers may secure refreshments at all times. During the summer months Mr. Bolz will offer a varied program for the entertainment of visitors and on Sundays will have a band of music in the pavilion where dancing will be in order. 25 Years Ago March 30, 1916 Broadway is to be paved. Disregarding the protests filed on the 9th day of March, the city trustees on Thursday night ordered that important residence street paved from the east to the west city limits, and Thursday, April 13, is the date set for opening bids for the work. The paving of Broadway has been under discussion for a number of years past. Certain residents on that thoroughfare have worked hard for the proposition, and others especially those owning a large frontage, have fought it. The trustees take the stand that as Broadway is one of the principal streets of the city, the paving of it is a necessary improvement in the development of Anaheim. Three years ago the board planned the paving of North and South Los Angeles, North and South Lemon., East Center and East and West Broadway. All except Broadway have been paved, and the results justified the wisdom of the board in ordering the work. Property on these streets, especially at the extremities, has rapidly advanced in value, and new residence tracts have been opened as a result of the paving. Broadway is one of the principal residence streets of the city, and it is a matter of civic pride and wisdom to reclaim it from the mud hole condition which it presented dur- Louis Bolz has opened up the favorite resort at Anaheim Landing, where campers and picnickers may secure refreshments at all times. During the summer months Mr. Bolz will offer a varied program for the entertainment of visitors and on Sundays will have a band of music in the pavilion where dancing will be in order. Col. J. K. Tuffree of the Rancho Buena Vista, was a guest of the Redondo Beach hotel on Tuesday. G. W. Brandeberry has accepted the position of nightwatchman of this city. A. B. Cadman and family have moved into Clay Kellogg's house on Broadway, where they have taken up their residence. The Saturday evening hop at the Del Campo hotel was greatly enjoyed by those present. The dining room floor is splendid to dance upon and the music of Prof. James orchestra was up to the usual high standard. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Theo Reiser, Mr. and Mrs. F. Crist, Mrs. Littlefield, Mrs. Goldthwaite, Mrs. Schubert, Mrs. Judge Hogan, Mrs. and Miss Adams, Miss Eva Littlefield, Miss Kate Champlin, Miss Cora Lewis, Miss Nelson, Miss Jessie Witte, Miss Hendricks, Miss Victoria Ramella; Messrs. Dr. G. C. Zeyn, Wm. McGoffin, E. K. Collins, Gilbert Landell, Lee Goff, C. Vanderlip and Mel Snyder of Santa Ana, Chas. Ramella, Louis Koerner, C. Wommer, Frank Schaumberger, J. F. Thacker and others. Mrs. Julia Schneider died at her residence on Palm street on Sunday. She was born in Baden, Germany in 1829 and was thus in her sixty-second year. She came to America in 1850 and to Anaheim in 1862. She was married in 1862 and came to Anaheim the same year. She was one of the band of hardy Pioneers who formed this city out of the trackless wilds. There live but a limited number of these brave spirits within the confines of this valley made splendid by the labors of those who have gone before. One by one they are passing on to their eternal reward. Her husband Frederick Schneider died in 1872. He came to Anaheim in 1862 and purchased the tract upon which the family has ever since west Broadway. All except Broadway have been paved, and the results justified the wisdom of the board in ordering the work. Property on these streets, especially at the extremities, has rapidly advanced in value, and new residence tracts have been opened as a result of the paving. Broadway is one of the principal residence streets of the city, and it is a matter of civic pride and wisdom to reclaim it from the mud hole condition which it presented during the January rains. The fire siren will probably be installed on the city hall, when Cooney Mauerhan can pull the string and give the alarm without relaying the signals to the power house. Owing to the abandonment of steam at the power house it will be necessary to put in a compressed air tank, and it can be installed anywhere. R. Y. Williams, J. E. Stephenson and Walter Eden of Santa Ana and N. J. Edwards of Orange attended the meeting at Riverside Saturday of the committee selected by republican county central committees of the eleventh congressional district for furthering a convention to select a candidate for congress. All candidates for the republican nomination are invited to attend the next meeting to be held at Riverside on April 8. The painters who have been engaged for the past twelve weeks in decorating the Hotel Valencia finished up their work this week. A county junior college at Santa Ana? Sounds like our old friend the county high school which was defeated ever so long ago. Let junior college work be taken up by different high schools in the county, at Fullerton, Orange, Huntington Beach, Santa Ana and this city, instead of centralizing it all at the county seat. No county junior college for us. L. F. Pomeroy fell under the wheels of a heavy wagon Friday while attempting to climb into it, and was run over. His right leg was badly crushed by the wheel passing over it. Mr. Pomeroy was taken to the sanitarium where his injuries were attended to. George Hatfield has purchased a house and lot in the eastern part of the city and he and a young lady from Corona will soon be "at home" to their many friends. F. C. Krause and wife, H. G.

There live but a limited number of these brave spirits within the confines of this valley made splendid by the labors of those who have gone before. One by one they are passing on to their eternal reward. Her husband Frederick Schneider died in 1872. He came to Anaheim in 1862 and purchased the tract upon which the family has ever since resided.

Mrs. Schneider leaves a son and two daughters, to mourn her loss. We tender the family our sincere condolence. Landlord Helmsen is laying in a stock of masks for the masquerade ball to be given by the local parrors of Native Sons and Daughters at Reiser's opera house on Wednesday evening next. In a letter received from Superintendent Atherton, of the ostrich farm at Placentia, we learn that the first ostriches were brought to this state by a gentleman of the name of Protheroe and farmed at Centralia. The birds, twenty-two in number were subsequently sold to the California Ostrich Farming company. According to Superintendent Atherton, a farmer with twenty birds (the sex being equal) would probably hatch 150 chicks per year, and lose ten per cent of this number. The Placentia farm has 133 birds and costs $1500 per year to maintain, exclusive of rental of land and taxes. These birds will be sold at auction next week. The reason assigned is that the owners living in San Francisco wish to discontinue the business. George Hatfield has purchased a house and lot in the eastern part of the city and he and a young lady from Corona will soon be "at home" to their many friends. F. C. Krause and wife, H. G.

Mrs. Theodore Roberts and her sister, Miss Mary Stroka, who have been sojourning at Long To the right man these birds would net a handsome profit. Full grown birds are valued at $500. Those at the farm, 133 in number, even though they bring half their value would come to $33,500. At its market value the ostrich farm is worth in the neighborhood of $70,000. Lewis' stable is being given a new coat of paint. S. S. Federman left Sunday morning for San Francisco where he is purchasing his spring and summer stock.
