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 April 2, 1891 A special train of ten cars left San Bernardino for the East on Monday bearing the citrus exhibit to be displayed at Chicago. There were 1,900 boxes of fruit, occupying nine cars, and one carload of designs. Thirty men accompanied this train to place the exhibit in position. The display will be double the size of the recent Citrus Fair held in Los Angeles, and will undoubtedly be the most magnificent orange exhibit ever seen in this country. This county's design will be an immense orange, eleven feet high and ten feet in diameter. The design is exceedingly appropriate and will doubtless attract a great deal of attention in the East. The reservoir north of Col. Tuffree's Buena Vista Rancho is getting to be very popular as a fish pond. Every day or two fishing parties repair to the miniature lake and pass several hours in landing superb specimens of the finny tribe. Some of the fish are fifteen inches long and are very fine eating. Conrad's brewery is engaged in turning out forty-five barrels of beer per day. A side track has been built to the brewery from the Southern Pacific railroad, and large quantities of the foaming beverage are shipped away. The 25 Years Ago APRIL 6, 1916 Work upon printing the great register of Orange County is now in progress, and the Gazette printing establishment is working night and day, including Sunday and Sunday nights, to turn out the register for the third supervisor district. There are 108 precincts in the county, and 35 in the third district, which will poll close to a third of the county's vote. The Ebell club held its regular meeting last Saturday afternoon. Although the afternoon was mostly given over to business two very interesting talks were given, one by Mrs. Ida Dutton on the Tri-Counties Re-Forestation conference recently held in Riverside, and to which she was sent as a representative of the Ebell.
