IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago December 27, 1873 The Christmas Tree Festivities The festival at Enterprise hall on Christmas night was attended by one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Anaheim. The children were out in full force and by their loudly expressed enjoyment gave additional zest to the pleasure of the old folks. Owing to the indisposition of Mr. Hawkins, W. F. Poore of Westminster enacted the role of Santa Claus. His well-timed remarks in distributing the presents pleasantly diversified the performance. As Christmas festivals have been however, away yesterday morning. The driver was thrown from his seat and the harness considerably damaged. Nothing serious occurred, however. The owners of Cucamonga vineyard intend setting out several hundred orange trees during the coming season. The amount of state and county taxes collected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1874, in the county of Los Angeles amounts to $202,242.09, about $40,000 have been collected so far. The taxes become delinquent after January He informs us that the wind so boisterously at Miflores on preceding day that, where Southern Pacific track crosses Fiscus place, the railroad section gang kept four men shoveling sand off the track during the entire day. Trains had to slow up passing. The wind was the worst he ever experienced in the country. The southern California section of the Christian and Mission alliance has issued an appeal all churches to unite with them in prayers for rain. They recommend that a day of firing be observed on Wednesday next by all praying people. View of the distress already caused by the meager fall of rain is ing the last season, and increase misery which is sure to follow, other dry winter," they exhort December 27, 1923 Five thousand people gathered on the ball grounds in municipal park Friday night to participate in the Community Christmas tree entertainment. The music program was a splendid one, the jam was so great that many were unable to enjoy it to the fist extent. It is reported that several women fainted and little children caught in the crush somewhat mussed up. The folk were made happy when Santa Claus distributed thousands of presents. The city of Anaheim has sent bills to the city of Orange and the city of Fullerton for amount these two municipal owe us on the outfall sewer project. The bill against Orange is $22,666.92 and Fullerton's little count is $45,088.91 Kindly report... on Christmas night was attended by one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Anaheim. The children were out in full force and by their loudly expressed enjoyment gave additional zest to the pleasure of the old folks. Owing to the indisposition of Mr. Hawkins, W. F. Poore of Westminster enacted the role of Santa Claus. His well-timed remarks in distributing the presents pleasantly diversified the performance. As Christmas festivals have been however, such an olt told tale and as everyone was there to see for himself, we omit a detailed description of a very pleasant evening and content ourselves by saying that every portion of the exercises passed off to the full satisfaction of all the participants. After the distribution of the presents, the hall was cleared for dancing and the evening was closed in the usual Anaheim way. In a private letter our friend, George W. Bartor, informs us that he has severed his connection with the San Francisco Real Estate Reporter. The January number of the Overland Monthly contains an exceedingly interesting article from the pen of Mr. Barter, entitled, "The War Department and the Union Army." (Mr. George W. Bartor will be remembered here, he started publication of The Anaheim Gazette in October 1870 and was the first editor and proprietor—Editor.) The lodge room of the Odd Fellows hall is vastly improved in appearance since the advent of the beautiful carpet with which the floor has been covered. We noticed also in the room a very handsome portrait of Grand Master Hill, presented by V. Wolfenstein of Los Angeles. Born—At Los Coyotes, December 15, to the wife of A. S. Rickert, a daughter.—In Anaheim, December 21, to the wife of Alex Gardiner, a son—In Baltimore, December 25, to the wife of Benjamin Dreyfus, a son. Quite a number of old amusements were revived in Anaheim on Christmas day. Amongst others, cock-fighting attracted a large and critical crowd in front of Chone's butcher shop. The team of James Ramage ran 50 Years Ago December 29, 1898 There are claims of newspapers of the state before the Board of Boyd. That the seventy odd cars of this dried fruit which have been shipped from this point have aged. Nothing serious occurred, however. The owners of Cucamonga vineyard intend setting out several hundred orange trees during the coming season. The amount of state and county taxes collected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1874, in the county of Los Angeles amounts to $202,242.09, about $40,000 have been collected so far. The taxes become delinquent after January 5. Among the deeds filed in the County Clerk's office this week are one from A. B. Chapman to Wm. Gates for 38 acres of land in Orange, consideration $1,290 and one from A. B. Chapman to John G. Ames for 20 acres of land near Orange, consideration $600. The Alameda Gazette imparts the information that Anaheim is the German for "Anna's home" in honor of an early lady pioneer. This is just the opposite of the truth. Anna Fischer was the first white child born in Anaheim, and was named in honor of the town of her birth. We acknowledge the receipt of a bottle of very fine Port wine from F. A. Korn and tender him many thanks therefor. At the meeting of the Fairview Grange on last Saturday Ed Miles was elected secretary and Clay Kellogg gatekeeper. Fischer sets the best table in Anaheim. With Mons. Pouchet as chef de cuisine, it is impossible to compete with him. Among the passengers from San Francisco per steamer Mohongo, arrived yesterday were Mrs. Schmidt, Richard Heiman and Frank Lafaucherie. John Bush has been up in the mountains again. The result of his trip can be seen in the venison offered for sale in the several butcher shops. Work has been commenced on Tim Boege's brick building on Center street. J. M. Guinn has some baled hay for sale. Local and County PMA Committee Elected Last Week (Continued from page 1) Rohrs, George M. Bickford Kogler, Theo M.

The team of James Ramage ran 50 Years Ago December 29, 1898 There are claims of newspapers of the state before the Board of Examiners for publishing the recent election proclamation and the constitutional amendments amounting to $65,000, and running from $50 to $7000. Among the papers designated by a report from Sacramento as not having been authorized to publish the proclamation and which have submitted bills for the work, are the Fullerton Tribune which has in a bill for $114, and the Downey Champion, which puts in a modest claim for $50—the lowest, we believe on the list. There are others. Malvern Hill Post, G.A.R., of Fullerton has elected the following officers to serve during the ensuing year: H. W. Freeman, post commander; E. Barr, S.V.; J. W. McKinney, J.V.; O. V. Knowlton, Q.M.; H. A. Stough, sergeant; J. S. Wallace, chaplain; A. McDermont, O.D.; Wm. Fithian, O.G. E. Barr was elected delegate to the state encampment to be held at San Diego with A.

Davis, J.W.; Wm. M. Higgins, treasurer; Joseph Helmsen, secretary. Some superb specimens of dried peaches, apricots and plums are on exhibition in the front window of Boyd's store; which were put up at the packing house by George Boyd. That the seventy odd cars of this dried fruit which have been shipped from this point this year have found a ready sale is not to be wondered at when such artistic packages of dried fruit are prepared for market. Mr. Boyd is to be congratulated upon the excellence of the fruit. Max Jacobson, the well-known Santa Ana business man, was in town on Sunday afternoon to listen to the band concert and see the sights. Mr. Jacobson gravitates over Anaheimward occasionally and the gossips have it that a sweet native daughter is not entirely irresponsible for our young friend's frequent visits hitherward. How is it Max? Senator Jones, his daughter, Phoebe Jones, his son-in-law, Senator A. E. Nutt of San Diego, accompanied by his wife, depart tomorrow for Sacramento to be present at the assembling of the Legislature on Tuesday night. Senator Nutt came up from San Diego on Monday, intending to go on through, but his father-in-law intercepted him, and drove him out to the Garden Grove ranch, where Christmas dinner was partaken of. Both Senators Nutt and Jones are for Grant for United States Senator—as is also Assemblyman Chynowith, although it ought to be added that the Republican convention of Orange county did not pass instructions favoring the candidacy of anyone. H. D. Polhemus was in town Saturday accompanied by Mrs. Polhemus and their little son, Dean. forms us that the wind blew asterously at Miflores on the day that, where the Rivers Pacific track crosses the place, the railroad section except four men shoveling sand the track during the entire Trains had to slow up in g.
