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 October 29, 1891 The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Present Chairman Reiser and Trustees Littlefield and Schindler. Absent Trustee Witte, who was in Los Angeles and Trustee Bennerscheidt, who sent in his resignation. In the matter of Mrs. Wallop's license, the marshal was instructed to collect restaurant license, and if transient lodgers are taken, to collect hotel license. A drain was ordered made across Los Angeles street from Federman's corner to the old Planters hotel corner. In the matter of the weather forecasts, ordered that an appropriation be made for the purchase of flags and halliards and that the signals be displayed on the flag pole at Mons. Cahen's store, that gentleman having agreed to post the signals. Mr. Reiser brought up the question of protecting the city from overflow of the Santa Ana river. Attorney Chynoweth was of opinion that no appropriation could legally be made for that purpose. Mr. Schindler thought it would be impossible to expend city funds outside the corporate limits of the city. There was too much kicking about the same thing a couple of years ago. The matter was laid over. 25 Years Ago November 2, 1916 The east winds and dry weather which prevailed several days last week afforded ideal climatic conditions to reclaim a large quantity of the lima bean crop, which was threatened with absolute destruction on account of the wetting received through the rains the middle of the month. The beans in cases had been stacked in the fields, awaiting the threshers when the wetness descended, but the succeeding dry weather and eastern zephyers were providential and the bean growers are wearing bland smiles. The Anaheim National Bank has installed a large clock in front of their place of business on the corner of Center and Lemon streets. The clock chimes the hours, halves and quarter hours, and the harmony produced is pleasant to hear, besides keeping people in the neighborhood posted on the time of day. Henry Burdorf, a pioneer horticulturist of Fullerton, was a business visitor in town on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Burdorf reports the walnut crop pretty well cleaned up. He says the recent dry weather has been a godsend to the bean men, in that it has prevented the moulding of the exposed crop caused by early rains. H. Hale of Placentia was Franklin P.-T. A. to Have County Meeting Nov. 4 The Benjamin Franklin A. and teachers will be host to the Orange County Association of Childhood Education Tuesday November 4 at the school 3:45 p.m. Thanksgiving and Christmas flower arrangements will be presented by Miss Amy McDee and Miss May Nichols of the May Studio of Design and Gof Pasadena. The public is cordially invited. Several members of the Bay Youth Fellowship are making plans to attend the young peasant convention at San Bernardo November 21 to November 27. Mr. Reiser brought up the question of protecting the city from overflow of the Santa Ana river. Attorney Chynoweth was of opinion that no appropriation could legally be made for that purpose. Mr. Schindler thought it would be impossible to expend city funds outside the corporate limits of the city. There was too much kicking about the same thing a couple of years ago. The matter was laid over. The street sprinkling contract which expires the 1st prox. was ordered continued after that date until the rains come, providing it does not rain before the first of the month. Water was turned into the new tank at the water works on Monday. The carpenters up in the tank frame chatted away as merriily as birds in the trees while they helped Engineer Schindler make the connection between the new tank and the old. The reporter wouldn't go up,—he was afraid he would fall down and break his neck. When the connection was made, at about half past two, water was turned into the new tank and the pumps set going. The new tank holds 60,000 gallons and increases the capacity of the tanks at the water works to 125,000 gallons. Tim Carroll's artesian well on his place at West Anaheim ran an inch and a half open flow before the pipe was cut last week. After cutting the pipe the flow increased to three inches; and Tim has now one of the best wells in the valley. He has built a large reservoir into which the water will be turned for irrigation. On his Alamitos ranch Tim has another good artesian well with a two and a half inch flow. Both places are being improved and next year will see the greater part of them set to trees. Prof. Dickey, who boreg the larger well, is putting one down for Mons. Mouliot on his sheep ranch in West Anaheim. Secretary Garwood has put up the stove in the irrigation office—winter is coming on. He has also cleaned the windows and swept the floor, and we presume will one of these days, polish up the handle of the big front door. Since the Santa Ana Blade scooped up the Press it refused to print the Standard on its power press, and Br. Baker is forced to people in the neighborhood posted on the time of day. Henry Burdorf, a pioneer horticulturist of Fullerton, was a business visitor in town on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Burdorf reports the walnut crop pretty well cleaned up. He says the recent dry weather has been a godsend to the bean men, in that it has prevented the moulding of the exposed crop caused by early rains. H. H. Hale of Placentia was elected director of the Orange County Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance company Saturday to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Geo. B. Key. The secretary reported four losses by fire since the previous meeting, the aggregate being $1000. C. H. Newcombe, wife and son Charles, visited Sunday at Hemet, Riverside and Corona. They stopped at the Newcombe ranch at Corona on their return. Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell were in town on Monday afternoon from their hacienda at Los Cerietos. Mr. Mitchell stated that he expects to open bids today for the erection of his new building here. C. B. Berger has sold the E. Bullard 5-acre Valencia grove on Loara street just west of Anaheim to Fred Heying. This is one of the choicest of the younger groves, the trees being about five years old. It has a modern bungalow and everything complete for a beautiful home place. The consideration was $10,000. Mr. Bullard takes a house on Olive and Chartres streets as part payment. J. W. Sackett who has been temporarily on the retired list, owing to a stitch in the back, is convalescing, but uses a cane in getting around. Hope you will soon be entirely well again, "Bill." Mrs. W. L. Finney entertained the Pastime club at her home on South Philadelphia street Thursday afternoon. Hallowe'en colors were used in decorating the rooms and appetizing refreshments were served. Mrs. Tuffree won first prize in five hundred, Mrs. McClellan second and Mrs. C. F. Grim third. Bird Beebe arrived in town a day or two ago from the northern part of the state for a visit with relatives and firends. Secretary Garwood has put up the stove in the irrigation office—winter is coming on. He has also cleaned the windows and swept the floor, and we presume will one of these days, polish up the handle of the big front door. Since the Santa Ana Blade scooped up the Press it refused to print the Standard on its power press, and Br. Baker is forced to run his paper off on his old-fashioned Washington man-killer. Such is newspaper life at "Santy Ann." W. M. McFadden returned on Saturday from his trip to San Francisco. While in the city he was appointed Grand Treasurer of the order of Chosen Friends, a compliment of which he is in every way deserving. Leonard Parker was married at Santa Barbara on Friday last to Mrs. E. A. Wellman, who lived on the Modjeska place east of town some years ago. Rev. Dr. Carrier performed the ceremony. The wedding occurred in the parlors of the New Morris house and was witnessed by several friends. Mr. Parker has not yet returned home with his bride. Tim Boege is making wine. He gets most of his grapes from the Artesia country. Carpenter Larsen is laying the sidewalk about Plez James new house. Miss Olga Zeus has accepted a position as bookkeeper in H. Cahen's store. Mrs. Jonathan Kraemer who has been quite ill for some time past, is improving rapidly. Fred Eichler of Santa Monica was in town one day last week. Harry Jessen of Santa Ana was over to see us yesterday. Born—In this city October 21st to the wife of F. Schlange, a son. Franklin P.-T.
