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 November 5, 1891 The county roads around Anaheim are in a wretched state of demoralization. The supervisors should give them their immediate attention, and for the good name of the county proceed at once to fix them. The roads are a disgrace to everyone in the county. Come Messrs. Supervisors, give us better roads. A large crowd of people gathered at Tim Carroll's big artesian well on his place in West Anaheim on Tuesday afternoon in response to invitations to go and see what the well could do. A sumptuous lunch had been prepared to which the crowd paid their respects after they had inspected the well and sized up the reservoir. The well has been lately completed and flows into a reservoir an acre and an eighth in extent. On Tuesday the reservoir held a million and a half gallons and its capacity is nearly double that. The water escapes for irrigation from an eight inch pipe, and the flow amounts to 190 miners inches. The reservoir is one of the finest sights in the country. Boat riding may be enjoyed, and the waters are sufficient to irrigate a great tract of land. The directors of the irrigation district adjourned to go with the crowd to see the well and expressed themselves 25 Years Ago November 9, 1916 As we go to press, on Wednesday afternoon, reports coming to this office indicate that the result of the presidential election may depend upon California. Wilson carried San Francisco and comes to the Tehachapi mountains with probably 20,000 votes. The republican majorities in the Southern counties it is believed is sufficient to overcome this majority. Governor Hiram Johnson is elected United States Senator by a tremendous plurality. Both the prohibition amendments were defeated and California remains wet. The single tax amendment was overwhelmingly defeated, but the good roads measures carried. Returns were flashed on a screen on the roof of the Oyster Loaf cafe, from Fisher's hall opposite until 12 o'clock Tuesday night. An immense crowd of people eagerly watched the figures. Dispatches were also flashed upon the screen at the New Grand until midnight. At the regular meeting last Saturday, the Ebell members and their guests had the pleasure of listening to two prominent club women of Los Angeles, Mrs. Willoughby Rodman, and Mrs. B. A.

The reservoir is one of the finest sights in the country. Boat riding may be enjoyed, and the waters are sufficient to irrigate a great tract of land. The directors of the irrigation district adjourned to go with the crowd to see the well and expressed themselves as delighted. They also paid particular attention to the lunch and liquid refreshments. Schlange photographed the crowd around the reservoir, Tim mounted the well pipe, standing well out in the foreground. Then the crowd went and had some more refreshments. The Wilkie Opera company is billed to appear at the operahouse on the evening of December 1st. They will give us "Sleeping Queen" and "Widows Bewitched," and are said to be very good. The Sister's school on Palm street is having its slate roof taken off and is being shingled instead. The slate cracked in the sun, the roof leaked and consequently a new roof is being put on. District Attorney Sanborn and Col.

Ernst Borchert and young son had a narrow escape from death last Saturday when his auto was struck at the crossing on the Garden Grove road by a Southern Pacific train, which was backing up on the Los Alamitos line. Mr. Borchert was going slowly, but failed to see or hear the train until his machine was astraddle of the track. The oncoming train of beet cars struck the auto square in the middle and shoved the car for quite a distance along the track. Luckily neither occupant of the auto was hurt, but Mr. Borchert considers his escape miraculous. The auto was a total wreck. The crossing is a dangerous one for travelers, as the track on both sides of the road is obscured from view by trees. Better protection to travelers at this point should be provided, as other accidents have in the past occurred at this point. J. D.

Moot, who was severely injured some days ago by being thrown from the railroad bridge between here and Santa Ana by meeting a train while driving across with a horse and buggy, is recovering. His horse shied at the engine and leaped over the railing into the river bed, carrying the buggy with it. Mr. Moot was caught in the wreck and narrowly escaped with his life. The train slowed up and returned to the scene of the accident, picked Moot up and brought him to town. He was bruised considerably but is nearly well again.
