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 26, 1891 The city fathers met in special session last Friday and decided to sell the city bonds through R. G. Lunt of Los Angeles, for 90 cents on the dollar, and agreed to pay pim $300 for making the sale. This leaves the city $13,200 out of the original $15,000 issued and is equivalent to selling the bonds at 83 cents. The Savings Building and Loan association holds their annual meeting at Backs hall on next Saturday, from 4 to 9 p.m. for the purpose of electing a board of directors of eleven members. Messrs. Otto Rust, H. A. McWilliams, W. L. Dunlap, and Charles Kuchel have been appointed to act as inspectors and judges of the election. Jake Yaeger has been engaged during the week drawing off a lot of old wine for Col. Northam. These Burger and Claret wines of the vintage of "85 are just as good as any up-county wines we ever tasted—they have a splendid color, fine bouquet and good body. Jake is of the opinion that we can make as fine dry wines here as they do in the northern part of the state. Arthur W. Sketchley and Ran- 25 Years Ago November 30, 1918 The city taxes this year amounted to $31,378.65, and City Marshal Killenberger reports that at the close of business Monday evening, the last day for paying taxes, $28,-000 had been paid in. He expects that most of this will be received within the next few days, and delinquents will not be charged a penalty until the close of the date for paying county taxes. The $600 necessary to add four feet to the 18-foot pavement which the county will lay on North Lemon st. has been raised. Frank Davis has been circulating a subscription paper and reported Tuesday that the required amount had been subscribed. Anaheim business men located on or near Lemon st. will pay for it, property owners on the street refusing to subscribe. Work will begin immediately. The new Grand theatre is to have the first showing of D. W. Griffith's masterful production, "Intolerance" outside of Los Angeles. It will be shown in December with all the scenic effects, soloists and an orchestra of 20 pieces. The same production which is now showing at Clune's auditorium, Los Angeles.

Jake is of the opinion that we can make as fine dry wines here as they do in the northern part of the state. Arthur W. Sketchley and Randolph Tracey of England have been on a hunting and fishing expedition at the Landing for some days under the pilotage of Louis Bloz. Mr. Sketchley is a brother of Dr. Sketchley of ostrich fame, whom our readers will pleasurably remember. He reports hunting and fishing good at the Landing, and it would not surprise much to see him locate here permanently. While Ned McPherson, the eighteen-year-old son of Robert McPherson of McPherson, was out on Newport bay Saturday morning with two other boys, hunting, he attempted to draw his gun toward him with the muzzle pointed at him. The hammer caught and the gun was discharged. He was shot in the left shoulder and died while being taken home. Coroner Ey held an inquest and found death resulted accidentally. A scissors grinder with a bell and tin whistle racked the ears of us one day last week. These fellows must give us better music or we shall have to pass an ordinance against them. Ed Kraemer brought in a coyote scalp on Monday that was the largest of the season. The varmint had a pretty good record, too, as is had devoured $200 worth of Ed's chickens without any outside assistance. After Edward gets his bounty he will still be $195 out on the transaction. The Hill boys have rented 1800 acres of land on the La Habra and will seed the entire tract to barley. They are putting up a house to be used during the seeding season. Judge Pierce of Garden Grove was up to see us Tuesday. The judge has many friends here who are always glad to see him. We particularly want him here to help us entertain the Terminal railway people. The new Grand theatre is to have the first showing of D. W. Griffith's masterful production, "Intolerance" outside of Los Angeles. It will be shown in December with all the scenic effects, soloists and an orchestra of 20 pieces. The same production which is now showing at Clune's auditorium, Los Angeles. Stephen Cottle died at his home on Helena st. Wednesday after a month's illness. Mr. Cottle came to Anaheim nineteen years ago and ran "The Derrick" saloon which is now called "The Exchange." He and Fred Dyckman have been proprietors of "The Belmont" on North Los Angeles for the past six years. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. David Todd Gilmor. Burial was at Loma Vista cemetery. C. F. Grim, president of the Anaheim Truck & Transfer company gave a supper to officials of the company at Oyster Loaf Wednesday. Those present besides Mr. Grim were Henry M. Adams, vice-president; H. C. Stock, manager; Harry Pearson, secretary and treasurer; R. J. Dogdale, and Jacob Schumacher. Papers were filed Saturday showing that Dominic Bastenchury had mortgaged his ranch north of Fullerton to S. R. Roseberg for $90,000. Roseberg assigned the mortgage to Kaspar Cohn, Commercial and Savings Bank of Los Angeles, the interest being six per cent. The same property is transferred by trust deed to Maria Bastenchury to secure $40,000. The basketball team of the Anaheim high school defeated Norwalk on the latter's grounds on Thursday by a score of 38 to 16. The team was Abbot, Quarton, and Wilson, forwards; Doton, center; Dankers, and Clabaugh, guards. The boys were in a fast game Friday when they lost to Fullerton by a score of 19 to 10. Mrs. A. E. Hiles was hostess to an entertainment given by the Helpers guild of St. Michael's at Guild hall on Thursday afternoon. Bishop Johnson, Dean Bode, and Rev. C. R. Mathias, were the honorary guests.

He called in to see us before he went, and ordered the paper sent to his address as before: Uncle John couldn't get along very well without this family journal. Good luck to him in his up-country home. W. H. Bailey of San Francisco, owner of the Olinda ranch, was down on a visit last week. He found everything in tip-top shape, and was glad to be with us.

"IT HURT MY PRIDE IN ANAHEIM" (A LETTER TO THE EDITOR) EDITOR: I noticed on the front page of the Gazette of Nov. 20, headline: "Red Cross Crusade Short of Goal As Drive S." This really hurt my pride in Anaheim. When I think of people refusing to support an organization like this, especially at a time like the present. The Red Cross is a national organization, and is vital to our defense. It is not only working for the welfare of the people caught in some disaster, but is working 365 days of each year, teaching people first aid, and how to prevent suffering caused by negligence. The Red Cross is a necessary institute and we are called on but once each year for a small do- How can we refuse to support such a noble cause? Anaheim has a population of approximately 12,000 people, and they only ask us to subscribe three thousand dollars. Can't we boost our membership so we can say, "Anaheim, as always, over the top!" We still have a few days left. Won't those who haven't joined bring in their dollar and get their button? See Charles Griffith at the City Hall or at either of the offices. Thanks, I know you will.
