IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a Quarter 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. 25 Years Ago January 2, 1919 For the first time since the Pioneers reclaimed it from the desert and gave it a name, Anaheim is dry and no liquor can be purchased within its corporate limits. The saloons, the wholesale houses and wineries closed their doors Tuesday night in conformity with the ordinance passed some months ago by the city trustees, and now the citizen with an intolerable thirst must go to Los Angeles, Vernon, Seal Beach or some dry town where the blind pig flourishes in order to quench it. Capt. Alexander Henry and Lieut. Fred Gresswell shattered sleep within a mile of the city hall by turning loose Uncle Alex's cannon at the stroke of twelve Tuesday night. Its booming was the signal for all the bells and whistles to begin and for fifteen minutes there was a merry din. All the wine remaining in the Koenig cellars was shipped out of Anaheim last week by Mr. and Mrs. Antone Schulte. There were 650 gallons of it, and the revenue inspector recently declared it to be the oldest bonded wine in the United States, and that it was worth $25 a gallon. This wine was made by William Koenig in 1872 and is therefore nearly 47 years old. W. P. Webb Jr., has written to his father describing some of his experiences with the boches.

Mr. Fowler said that the gentleman had done everything he could against the sugar factory, that the sugar company had deeds to every acre represented by the gentlemen referred to and at the proper time the deeds would be recorded. Mr. Carroll arose to reply but was called to order by the chair. He was not allowed to speak. A resolution increasing the capital stock was offered by Mr. Capitain seconded by Mr. Fowler.
