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 November 7, 1918 A leaf from history was revealed at a recent meeting of the city trustees when a report from the engineer established the fact that all water alleys, which had been established by the old Anaheim Water Company when the town was founded, still remain on record as belonging to that corporation, which in the passing of time has been absorbed by the Anaheim Union Water Company. Many of these original water alleys are now streets, but have no doubt lost their original identity as such by long disuse. Attorney T. L. McFadden, of Placentia, who recently entered the service as a Y.M.C.A. athletic instructor, will leave Sunday for France.

Schulte of Orange-thorpe had a pumpkin vine on his ranch that produced 1874 pounds of pumpkins and he wants to know if there is any farmer in the county who can beat it. The vine measured 18 inches in circumference at the ground and one of the stems was 40 feet long, and it was raised without irrigation. This beats the record hereabouts, and we want to know if there is anything in the county to get away with it. Thomas Raymond, owner of the famous trotter Klamath, who won the free-for-all trots at the Los Angeles and Orange County Fairs has bought a ranch in the Peat Lands, and will probably start a stock ranch.

Hale of Placentia, writes from Philadelphia that he has arrived in that city after a voyage of several weeks from San Pedro. He sailed on the U. S. S. West Galoc, bound for an Atlantic port. In the West Indies they ran upon shoal rock and much of the cargo had to be thrown overboard to lighten the vessel. The ship was saved, but Ray adds that it made him feel very sorry to throw overboard portions of the cargo that would have been very good stuff for the Germans. It is presumed the vessel carried munitions of war. The West Galoc is now in dock at Philadelphia undergoing repairs.
