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 September 24, 1891 A meeting will be held at the office of the irrigation district on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock for the purpose of hearing Engineer Kellogg's report on the work necessary to be done in levying the Santa Ana River at the point of last year's overflow. Mr. Kellogg has prepared a complete report, and after having made a complete reconnaissance of the territory will be able to tell the committee what should be done. It is hardly necessary to impress upon our readers the importance of this step. We must levy the river, or we shall have the waters of the overflow at our very doors when the winter rains come. Now is the time to do the work; we must not put it off until the time of the overflow, as we did last year. The question interests everyone Let there be a large turnout. Leonard Parker has two gangs of men fumigating and spraying scale in his orchard. He says that orchardists cannot be too careful attending to their trees nowadays as the scale is to be found everywhere. F. X. Dauser has presented us with a basket of Muscat grapes which are as fine as any we ever saw. The grapes were grown in his vineyard, which he thinks has effectually survived the vine disease. The grapes would seem to prove that Mr. Dauser's vineyard 25 Years Ago September 28, 1916 Sixty persons surrounded the tables at the Valencia Cafe and partook of the business men's luncheon last Thursday. Those who were fortunate enough to be present were given two treats. One was the excellent lunch prepared by the cafe manager and the other the interesting speech by Richard Melrose who was particularly entertaining in his talk on "Old Anaheim." Dr. F. H. Houck was the toastmaster and introduced the speaker. Mr. Melrose said he first saw Anaheim in 1865. He returned in 1870 and decided to make this his permanent home. The town at that time was surrounded by a willow hedge which was grown for the purpose of keeping wandering stock out of the vineyards. Grape growing was the only industry. The only sprinkling our streets ever received was from the juice that trickled through the wagon beds as the luscious grapes were being hauled to the crusher. Once upon a time we decided to pave Center street. All the men volunteered and we raked every stable yard in Anaheim and paved the street with straw. One summer's day, hearing a cry of fire I rushed out and found the pavement of Center street on fire. Travel between Anaheim and Los Angeles, which was the county seat, was mostly on horseback. There were no bridges over the streams which had to be forded in the rainy season, and the roads F. X. Dauser has presented us with a basket of Muscat grapes which are as fine as any we ever saw. The grapes were grown in his vineyard, which he thinks have effectually survived the vine disease. The grapes would seem to prove that Mr. Dauser's vineyard is all right. Two hundred and eighty-one pupils entered the public school during the first week of school 68 in the grammar grade and 213 in the primary.

They will later visit England where Mr. Collins family resides. Prof. Grogan is principal of the Ontario school. Theodore Reiser returned yesterday from a trip to Sah Francisco, weighted down with a lovely market street cold. We were pleased to see Colonel Messmore of Orange the other day. The Colonel has many friends in Anaheim and he comes over occasionally to see them. We are sorry to hear that he does not enjoy good health, an old army wound giving him trouble. Marshal Gade gives notice that city taxes are due and payable to him at his office on Center street. Taxes become delinquent on November 3rd, after which an additional 5 per cent will be added. About fifteen men are now at work at the Santiago Company's mines. Many improvements are being inaugurated to lessen the labor of handling ore and waste which will be finished before the winter rains set in. A force of eight to ten men are working on the drifts and about a ton of ship- Once upon a time we decided to pave Center street. All the men volunteered and we raked every stable yard in Anaheim and paved the street with straw. One summer's day, hearing a cry of fire I rushed out and found the pavement of Center street on fire. Travel between Anaheim and Los Angeles, which was the county seat, was mostly on horseback. There were no bridges over the streams which had to be forded in the rainy season, and the roads were only cowpaths. There were ten mile roadhouses along the way, however, where travelers would stop for refreshments, also fifteen and twenty mile road houses between them. In 1872 I was called as a member of the grand jury. One of our duties was the investigation of election frauds, and I recollect when the judge charged the jury one of his remarks was: "Now, gentlemen, in your hands is placed the duty of safeguarding 25,000 people." The jurisdiction of the court and the jury extended from Tehachepi to San Juan Capistrano, and the judge boasted that 25,000 people lived in that territory. I was in Los Angeles the day following the massacre of Chinamen. A Chinaman had murdered a white man and the vigilantes rounded up the Celestials and hanged fourteen or fifteen of them. The men who did this were all good men, and law-abiding citizens. I am casting no reflections upon them. They merely executed the Chinamen to vindicate the law and order rule. Mr. Melrose spoke twenty minutes and told many interesting things of early years in Anaheim. Mrs. Lydia Zeller and two little sons are here from Bisbee, Arizona, and are guests of Mr. and Mrs. L.
