IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago January 17, 1874 Whilst on a business trip during the past week we had occasion to visit the village of Orange, better known by its former name of Richland. Our approach was made from the Rodrequez crossing of the Santa Ana river and via the old stage road to San Juan Capistrano. As emerging from the willow clad banks of the river we beheld before us a vast plain, covered with cultivated fields and dotted with cozy farm houses and here and there patches of dark green foliage; indicative of orange or lemon groves, we could not refrain from contrasting its appearance now and as it was three short years ago when beyond the eastern bank of the Santa Ana river nothing met the eye but a sterile waste entirely devoid of habitation and over which traditions of former years The attention of those desirous of learning the German language is invited to the advertisement of Miss Ada Des Granges, who will open a class for instruction in that language on the 26th and further information may be obtained at the Primary school between 4 and 5 o'clock p.m. In the five counties composing the district known as southern California, there are over 900,000 sheep from which 3,000,000 pounds of wool was marketed in 1873.
