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 The following communication is from our ubiquitous reporter who resumes his ride through Centralia. I am surprised that from some reason or other, je ne sais quoi, Centralia has been neglected in your paper. It can not be for want of energy on the part of its people, for the general good condition of their farms would belie that assertion, nor can it be for any want of subject matter, as from the well-tilled nursery of Tim Carroll, which helps to form its western boundary, to its expectant town of Buena Park, which helps to make up its northern line, and from its southwestern side, where the Alamitos ranch closes up the stretch of farm land that stops only at the old Santa Ana river bed, there is food enough furnished to the pencil of your reporter to make up several columns of your estimable paper. Tim Carroll’s well-appointed nursery needs no further description than that which he has given to the country in his fine pamphlet issued from your office. Crossing the road from Tim’s we come to the 80-acre farm of Mr. Dewey which presents a sample of a well-tilled farm. Adjoining this is the 140 acres of John H. Roller, who has put out this year 65 acres in a new orange orchard, and which now, from its thrifty appearance bespeaks an early and large income to its worthy owner. Squire Landell’s farm of 100 acres adjoins Mr. Roller’s but knowing that the Judge was in the city attending to business, we had not the tenacity to face the 25 Years Ago May 18, 1916 Sheriff Jackson, Tax-Collector Lamb, County Treasurer Joplin and Officer Murray were in town on Tuesday afternoon, making calls to different banks in the city, with a view to removing about $50,000 from their vaults to the county treasury at Santa Ana. They also visited the Fullerton banks and other banks in the northern portion of the county from which they will take more than $50,000 and place it in the county treasury. This money will probably be removed by the county treasurer within a few days. The removal of this money is the outcome of a demand by the taxpayers league that this money be returned to the county treasury unless bankers pay 2 per cent interest thereon. This the bankers say they are unable to do, and the money will be withdrawn from circulation, being tied up in the vaults of the treasurer’s office, Treasurer Joplin said he would have in his vaults, when this money is placed in the county treasury, in the neighborhood of $800,000. Banks at Orange, Santa Ana and other localities will also be drawn upon and all this cash will be locked up in the treasurer’s vaults. John Cook finished planting his usual acreage of blackeye beans on the San Joaquin ranch last week. The bean industry has grown to large proportions in Orange county. The Mother Colony club formally opened its quarters on the third floor of the Valencia hotel last evening when members and Buying to keep within the budget for the living room and dining room furnishings present no great problem since all styles of furniture can be bought such varied prices. When you go to the bedroom, however, a much greater and more interesting problem arises. The first thing that must be remembered, is that the amount budgeted for this room must cover anything from the furniture to coat hangers in the closet. Other fund can be relied upon bedding, pictures, vases or any other nice little things. John Doe, who can afford spend $1500 for home furnishing figured that $300 could be spent for the master bedroom, and $50 for the spare bedroom. The master bed room was furnished with a Honduras mahogany double, high poster bed on Sheriton 18th century style mahogany highboy had a serpentine front and five drawers. Vanity, which was also mahogany had a shield mirror. The new table had two small drawers in and was topped with a snake boudoir lamp. The rug used in the main room was of the typical 18th century pattern. It was pastel shade of rose, turquoise, and gold. Colors in this beautiful rug were picked up in both the draperies at the windows, and a white chenille spread trimmed in red and turquoise, on the bed. On Monday by steamer from Francisco Adjoining this is the 140 acres of John H. Roller, who has put out this year 65 acres in a new orange orchard, and which now, from its thrifty appearance bespeaks an early and large income to its worthy owner. Squire Landell’s farm of 100 acres adjoins Mr. Roller’s but knowing that the Judge was in the city attending to business, we had not the temerity to face the Siberian bloodhound that he quietly informed us one day he kept for the benefit of intruding reporters. The place, however, looked to be in fine order, and when we can catch the Judge at home, we will give him a more extended notice. Following this are the respective farms of Mr. Lyons, Mr. Frantz, Mr. Bowen, Mr. Potter and Mr. Foster, and sandwiched as it were between the Centralia Colony tract and the newly acquired lands of the Adventists, is the octogon shaped schoolhouse of Centralia, which is one of the handsomest buildings of its kind in Southern California.

We have seen no confirmation of the report, however. This case was referred to at length in these columns at the time of its coming up for trial several months ago. The supervisors on Monday placed the sum of $117.70, recovered from Los Angeles county to the credit of the Fairview school district in the building fund of Anaheim school district, which absorbed the old Fairview district.

Feminine Fads and Fancies BY Lela Squibb Being to keep within the budget for the living room and the room furnishings presents that problem since all styles of furniture can be bought at varied prices. When you get a bedroom, however, a much larger and more interesting prob- is. The first thing that must be numbered, is that the amount needed for this room must cover from the furniture to the hangers in the closet. No fund can be relied upon for rugs, pictures, vases or any other nice little things. Doe, who can afford to $1500 for home furnishings, said that $300 could be spent on the master bedroom, and $150 on the spare bedroom. The master bedroom was furnished with a Honduras mahogany high poster bed on the 18th century style. A tany highboy had a serpentont and five drawers. The which was also mahogany, shield mirror. The night had two small drawers in it was topped with a small air lamp. Rug used in the master was of the typical 18th cent- tern. It was pastel shades turquoise, and gold. The rug in this beautiful rug were up in both the draperies windows, and a white baby tile spread trimmed in rose turquoise, on the bed. Group Picnics at Anaheim City Park Twenty persons enjoyed a Mother's Day picnic at Anaheim city park Sunday. Each family brought their own "pot" to make it a pot luck.

Box springs and mattress were used on the bed and sheets, two 100% wool blankets and the spread topped it. The pillows were puffed. The spare bedroom was furnished with a charming light maple suite. Three oval rag rugs covered the floor, with light gay colors. To give the room a dainty feeling, an organdie spread, with eyelet-embroidered ruffled flounces, was used on the bed. The same organdie was used in full crisp flounces draped at the windows. This room was furnished entirely at a cost that was well within the budget and enough was left over after the extra things were bought to pay for those used in the master bedroom. The kitchen was probably the easiest room in the entire house to furnish within the budget, $250 was figured for this room, out of which cooking utensils, cleaning equipment for the entire house, including a washing machine, stove, every day dishes, an electric mixer and all of the other things that are usually needed in a complete kitchen, were bought. Of course, careful selection was necessary in order to stretch this amount over all of the things needed. For instance, an expensive stove could easily take entire amount planned. On the other hand, a good stove with all of the Rug used in the master was of the typical 18th cent. pattern. It was pastel shades of turquoise and gold.
