In The Days Of Long Ago Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter 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. 25 Years Ago June 21, 1917 EMBLEM OF U. S. The Star Spangled Banner was adopted as the emblem of the United States by Congress on the 14th of June, 1777. The Elks Lodge which was founded as a patriotic society, has adopted this as one of its festival days, and every lodge in the United States celebrates the day and pays fitting tribute to the flag. Anaheim lodge 1345 engaged the Fairyland theatre and rendered a program which was witnessed by hundreds of people. Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe of Los Angeles was the principal speaker. His subject was "The Flag." Hans V. Weisel read an interesting history of the flag and its adoption. Mrs. Ray Fisher, accompanied by Miss Marie Rimpau, sang "America for Me" and "You Have to be an American to Feel That Way." She was handed a beautiful bouquet at the end of the first song. Edward Backs' first number was "The Story of Old Glory" and in response to the encore he sang "I Love You, California." Both singers were vociferously cheered. At the close of the program, the band played "America" and "The Star Spangled Banner." 50 Years Ago June 23, 1892 RIVER INSPECTION Wm. McFadden and E. R. Amerige representing the Anaheim Water company accompanied by Supervisor Armoir and Superintendent Gardner of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, went on a tour of inspection up the river last Thursday to look into the diversion of water on the Jurupa ranch. They found a ditch running 600 inches of water on the ranch, upon which an injunction will be served, restraining the parties from the use of the water. The gentlemen went as far as Riverside and South Riverside and returned on Friday. Active measures will be taken to stop the diversion of water, and the fight will be carried on by the water companies on both sides of the river.

ANAHEIM FIRE One of the hottest fires Anaheim has experienced for many years broke out after five o'clock on Friday evening. By some means the paint shop and barn of W. P. Webb, situated at the rear of his residence, caught fire. It originated outside the building. A large supply of paint was destroyed. The fire raged so fiercely that it was impossible to reach the horse which was stabled in the barn and it was burned to death. The loss was estimated to be $2500. There was no insurance.

Nature has been kind, in Santa Fe territory, and another bumper crop is indicated. Prices, too, are good. That is a happy prospect, but it brings serious problems with it—both for you who raise the grain, and for us who move it. You face a shortage of harvest labor, and a serious lack of storage space, at terminals and in rural bins, because of the unprecedented carry-over of old wheat. We face the job of moving a vast grain tonnage, in a short time, on top of the greatest railroad traffic load in history. For example, in April, 1941, Santa Fe freight cars moved 108,131,891 miles. In April, 1942, that mileage had leaped to 142,823,878. A great part of that 32% jump represented war freight, that must move first. Santa Fe pledges every possible help in moving 1942 wheat to points where it can be accepted and placed for use. Of you we ask prompt loading and unloading, and that no car be used for storage, even temporarily. Let’s pull together and whip this war-born transportation problem, as we have so many others in the long years we’ve worked together. AT YOUR SERVICE—Talk over your transportation problems with your Santa Fe representative. He’ll be glad to help with practical suggestions.
