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 May 7, 1891 The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met in regular session on Tuesday morning. The topic of greatest interest locally to which the board gave their attention was the matter of considering whether the office of the district should remain in Anaheim or be removed to Fullerton. Dr. Spencer's motion to accept the proposition of the Fullerton folks to furnish them rent free for two years, which was seconded by Mr. Crowther, was defeated, there being a tie vote. Messrs. Korn and Ryan voting no, against, Messrs. Spencer and Crowther who voted aye. The proposition was subsequently laid upon the table. Thirty-two carloads of machinery have arrived at Chino for the sugar factory and more is expected daily. The machinery comes direct from Germany, via New Orleans and the Southern Pacific railroad, and is said to be the finest ever brought to this country. It will be put in position at once. The buildings are rapidly approaching completion, and the factory will be put in operation some time during the early fall. It will doubtless be gratifying to our people to know that the roller skating daily and nightly occurring at the Operahouse has not and will not materially damage the floor, as a protecting coating covers it. Only a few superficial 25 Years Ago MAY 11, 1916 Valencia hotel and cafe were formally opened to the public on Saturday evening. The spacious lobby was crowded with guests, a large crowd coming from Los Angeles and other outside points. Many private dinner parties were given in the cafe and the public generally was on hand to make the opening event a memorable one. The best of good fellowship prevailed and the merry pop of the champagne cork was heard. The Anaheim city band gave a concert under the brilliantly lighter marquet, rendering a number of classic selections. The down town streets were literally packed with people during the evening, many coming out to hear the band concert, giving the town a gala metropolitan appearance. A large crowd repaired to the Mother Colony club reception room where to the sweet strains of music many tripped the light fantastic toe until midnight. Mine Host Zeigler and Messrs. Lehman & Osmun fairly outdid themselves in entertaining the large crowd and all had a most enjoyable time. The silver tea given at the parish house of St. Michael’s church Friday proved to be a success. Aprons, which had been made by the ladies of the Helpers’ Guild were offered for sale and the affair wes well patronized. Misses Inez Elliott, Dorothy Garrison and Femininity Fads and Fanciers BY Lela Squibb Last week we discussed how budgeting, touching on the amount a family of moderate income could afford to spend to build a hot and furnish it to best fit its needs. This week we will show just what can be done in the way of furnishing to make this home distinct, ished and beautiful, as well as livable. The living room of any house should be just that; the rooms which the family lives. Six friends are usually entertain here, this room should extend greeting of warmth and cheer. In John Doe’s home which built for $4500 the living room was 21 feet 6 inches by 14 feet. The front wall of the house, that was a fireplace and in the corner were the windows. There were four doors in the room. First all, it was discovered that Jo Doe was fond of blue and red tones and that he also liked perniture in preference to sharp modern lines. The rug formed the foundation for the living room furnishings carried out neutral shades of durose, beige and browns in a lightful leaf pattern. This was 12 by 18 feet. With this 18th century, kidney style sofa blue silk brocate, figured with shell and rose was used. Two barrel back chairs were used on each side of the It will doubtless be gratifying to our people to know that the roller skating daily and nightly occurring at the Operahouse has not and will not materially damage the floor, as a protecting coating covers it. Only a few superficial scratches are visible, the worst of which are easily remedied by sand papering or planing. Manager Walton is under contract to leave the floor in good condition. A surprise party was tendered last evening to the Misses Theresa and Rebecca Harris of San Luis Obispo, who are at present the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Rimpau. The occasion will long be remembered as one of the most enjoyable society events ever held in this city. John Lemke of Placentia was in to see us the other day and informs us that his young thirty-acre orange orchard looks as fine as any in the country. The orchard is entirely free from scale, and the vigilant proprietor keeps an eagle eye out for any newcoming specimens of pests that may be inclined to light on his trees. He finds coal oil very efficacious in destroying scale and has used it in former years with telling effect. The skating carnival on Saturday evening was largely attended. Prizes were awarded as follows: Best lady skater, Grace Adams; best gent skater, Frank Arthur of Pasadena; best sustained lady character, Eva Littlefield, letter carrier; best sustained gent character, George Heffner, Chinaman; best girl skater, Mallah Godfrey; best boy skater, Floyd Van Valen. After the prizes were awarded all enjoyed a social hop, which was kept up until after midnight. Next Saturday evening there will be a contest for the championship in skating. The rink is open day and evening. The mail on Tuesday brought the following anonymous letter, written by a lady, which is exempted from our general rule excluding anonymous communications, and given a place in our columns: There was a pleasant gathering on Thursday evening last of the Mine Host Zeigler and Messrs. Lehman & Osmun fairly outdid themselves in entertaining the large crowd and all had a most enjoyable time. The silver tea given at the parish house of St. Michael's church Friday proved to be a success. Aprons, which had been made by the ladies of the Helpers' Guild were offered for sale and the affair was well patronized. Misses Inez Elliott, Dorothy Garrison and Edna Schlotter entertained the visitors with readings and music. Tea, coffee and cake were served by the hostesses. When Rev. H. D. Schmelzer and family reached home at 7 o'clock Sunday evening after paying a visit to friends in the country they found that the house had been entered by a burglar during their absence. Entrance had been obtained by cutting a hole in a screen. Nothing was missing, consequently it is believed the thief was frightened away either by the return of the family or by the movements of the neighbors. Mrs. Melrose and Miss Winifred Melrose entertained the "Four-Fours" club on Monday evening. A six-course dinner was served at the Valencia cafe after which a game of whist was enjoyed at the Melrose home on Philadelphia street. Miss Grewco won the ladies' prize, a Chinese tea tray, and Welborn Wallop the men's, a box of assorted groceries. John Selinger has bought the Cline six acres on East Orange-thorpe avenue. The place is set to Valencia oranges and there is a good crop now on the trees. Mr. Selinger knows the orange growing business in all its varied departments and his new purchase will no doubt produce handsomely. Tonight the local Aerie of Eagles will entertain a large delegation from Los Angeles who will come as an escort of Senator Chas W. Lyon, state chaplain, and other state Aerie officers. Initiation of officers and a banquet will be features. The official canvass of the vote on the bond election last Wednesday gives the following results: For the bridge bonds, 1067, against 4160. For roads, 2553, against 2898. For repairs, 2836, against 2610. As it requires a two-thirds vote to carry a bond issue, all were lost. The rug formed the foundation for the living room furnishings carried out neutral shades of du rose, beige and browns in a lightful leaf pattern. This was 12 by 18 feet. With this 18th century, kidney style sofa blue silk brocatel, figured with shell and rose was used. Two barrel back chairs were used, one on each side of the place. These were tan, figure with a small floral design. Each these chairs were accompanied by two mahogany pie crust tables. Two English china lamps with white silk shades and gold tins were used on each of the pie crates. One wall of the room was left vacant and uninviting. Vacancy was filled with a flat 18th century mahogany desk. walls of this room were covered with pastel wall paper with floral design. The draperies were of a soft blue material and hung at the window sides. White fillet-like panels were used over windows. The living room budget plan $500 for the living room. We these furnishings only $376.11 used, leaving $123.89 to be used for room accessories or to be added to the budget of any other room where plans may have gone astray.

The mail on Tuesday brought the following anonymous letter, written by a lady, which is exempted from our general rule excluding anonymous communications, and given a place in our columns: There was a pleasant gathering on Thursday evening last of the Native Daughters, who met at the Misses Higgins and proceeded to Dr. Bullard's where Mrs. Cahen, acting as chaperone for the occasion, in an appropriate speech thanked the doctor for his kindly given services and presented him with a silver spoonholder. Doubtless it was a surprise to the doctor, and some have been heard to say a "most suitable gift," "he" being fond of spooning: but "sure" that is only gossip. Who knows? From Not a Native Daughter. To be sure, who knows? But the next time our fair correspondent writes to us, she should sign her name, not necessarily for publication, you know; dear, but simply as a guarantee of what Count Smith would say, "Ze good faith." Sabe. Harry Arthur and Arleigh Hess of Pasadena were guests of Neill Bailey last week. Dr. Johnson of the Westminster Tribune and Drs. Holcomb and Case of the Fullerton Journal were callers at this office during the week. Call again physicians. The striking wire of Oscar Luedke's town clock broke one day last week and the hours were consequently not sounded for several days. Oscar repaired the apparatus on Tuesday and now the clock strikes the hours and quarter hours as of yore. Colonel Messmore of Orange The official canvass of the vote on the bond election last Wednesday gives the following results: For the bridge bonds, 1067 against 4160. For roads, 2553 against 2898. For repairs, 2836 against 2610. As it requires a two-thirds vote to carry a bond issue, all were lost. C. A. Criss' baby attempted to swallow an open safety pin Monday.

Uncle Jerry Rusk always travels with whiskers—Los Angeles Times.

Miss Angela Callens Feted at Pre-nuptial Shower Saturday A bridal shower in the form of a one o'clock luncheon at Danigers in Santa Ana was given in honor of Miss Angela Callens, Saturday, by Mrs. Gus Callens and Mrs. Joe Callens of Santa Ana. Miss Callens wore a French blue ensemble with white pique accessories. She wore a dainty corsage of cecil brunner roses and pink bouvardia, which was presented to her by the hostesses. Each luncheon table was centered with spring flowers and beautiful arrangements of gladiolas were placed around the room. After the bride opened her many beautiful gifts, bridge, 500, and Chinese checkers were played. Prizes were won by Mrs. Jean Plou, Mrs. J. Callens, Mrs. Rose Goossens, Mrs. Harold Pickering, Alice Margaret Thornborrow and Betty Geisler. Miss Callens plans to be married, June 3, at the St. Boniface Catholic church in Anaheim.

This necessitated a coordination in color and style for these rooms. The same type rug was used in the dining room as in the living room. The dining room suite was of Honduras mahogany and of the junior size since the room was small. The seats of the chairs were covered with a blue and rose striped pattern, silk damask. Pastel rose draperies were used at the sides of the widows and white panel curtains were used over the windows themselves. The actual costs for the furnishings for this room was much lower than the budget called for. However, the remainder was easily used for linens, silverware, dishes, pictures, vases and other room accessories. Next week I will continue with the furnishing of John Doe's home. I thank Ray Reafsnyder for his untiring aid in gathering the material used in this column. We all work together in the telephone service!"
