IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anahaim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago 1879 The showers of Monday night marked seven-hundredths of an inch Coming immediately after the last spell, the effort was very beneficial to the growing grain. A few additional showers will ensure a wheat crop, that cereal having stood the drouth and heat much better than barley or rye. During yesterday there were several showers, but the barometer rose steadily last evening and indicates a return of fair weather. The San Francisco Alta of March 25 has an amusing account of the Kule-Kearney fight written by some person in Santa Ana. In its issue of last Sunday is a statement by Messrs. McFadden, Frunt and Spurgeon. Victor Montgomery was a visitor to Santa Ana on Tuesday. A tank built by Mr. Wille for the town was completed last evening. It is 12 feet high, 18 feet 3 inches in diameter and its capacity is 22,400 gallons. The staves are 3 inches thick and 6 inches wide. It is held by ten iron hoops ¼-inch thick and 2½ inches wide. It is a substantial and well built tank of which Mr. Wille is pardonably proud. The Planters Hotel, under new management, is now fairly open following officers were elected: John Fischer, president; H. Werder vice-president; Gustav Rust, secretary; F. Backs, treasurer; E. Evey and Dennis Nagle, executive committee. Three hundred pounds of butter per week are made at Mr. J. K. Tuffree's Buena Vista dairy. Thirty new volumes have been added to the school library. These books were purchased with the balance left of the fund raised by the exhibition last fall. Sixty-five dollars of that fund was expended for purchasing the school bell. The balance, $25, has been expended for library books. Mrs. Browning has enclosed her farm of one hundred acres with a mile and a half of substantial fence. The other improvements made and contemplated will make her home one of the handsomest in the valley. H. S. Austin, Mr. Ferguson and E. W. Champlin were Visitors in the neighboring village of Santa Ana this week. Col. H. G. Otis, editor of the Santa Barbara Press, will leave San Francisco about May 1st on the Alaska Commercial Company's steamer "St. Paul," on a government mission to the Fur Seal Islands, to be absent several months. ly attended by sympathizing friends. 50 Years Ago 1904 Harry Dyer has just completed the installation of a five horse power pumping plant on the Dyer ranch just north of this city. Two wells were sunk and an extraordinary flow of water was found at a moderate depth. He expects to pump 75 inches of water. Contractor Enearl will begin next week the work of remodeling and enlarging the Presbyterian church. The edifice will be moved from its present location and will face southeasterly upon its present site on Chartres and Hermina streets. A new roof and new steel will be built. The building will be a handsome edifice architectually and its seating capacity considerably enlarged. Weisel and Boyd began shipping oranges on Monday after a temporary lull in the market. They have shipped fifty carloads so far this season and have probably thirty-five more to forward. Loara school district was formed on Tuesday by order of the Supervisors, embracing the district of West Anaheim. Katell district remains a part of Anaheim school district. L. A. Evans J. W. Duckworth and H. M. Wessler were appointed trustees of the new district. Joseph des Granges of Fullerton, formerly of this city, wore yesterday granted a license to Mrs. Geneva Travette.

The Planters Hotel, under new management, is now fairly open to the public. The thorough cleaning and renovation which it has undergone, makes it look like a new house. New carpets have been laid in every room and furniture has been added wherever needed. In short, it is a model hotel and every department has the close supervision of Mr. Ed. Dunham, the proprietor. Mr. L. Martinberg announces that he will be a candidate for re-election as Town Marshal. It is said that Gen. Volney E. Howard will stump the county in favor of the new constitution. The Literary Union will wrestle with the new constitution next Friday evening at the Presbyterian church. The discussion will no doubt be quite animated. Some of the heaviest guns of the Union will open upon the constitution. It is to be hoped that some of the defenders of that much-assailied document will rally to its defense. Mr. Ben Dreyfuss will plant 200 acres of his land at Cucamonga in olive trees next year. He believes that the manufacture of olive oil will be the most paying industry in Southern California in a few years. At a meeting of the Workingmen's Club held on Sunday, the H. S.

Pythians Receive Famous Sword; Founders' Picture At the last meeting held at the American Legion Hall in Buena Park, the membership of Royer Lodge 396, Knights of Pythias, were presented with a full length picture of Gen. Jules O. Royer, for whom the lodge had been named. Gen. Royer was very well known in these parts for his Pythian work and also as the founder of the old Pythian lodge in Anaheim back in 1905. The building he was instrumental in having built by old Anaheim lodge still stands on Center street and the Pythian emblem still is on the building. It is now known as the Odd Fellows building. Max Royer, a prominent druggist of Anaheim and the son of Gen. Royer, presented the picture after Thanksgiving the membership for honoring his father's Pythian work by naming the lodge after him. Another great Pythian Past Grand Chancellor Robert Loucks of the Domain of California in 1918 and a personal friend of Gen. Royer for many years, presented Royer lodge with Gen. Royer's personal sworn talk on Pythianism and fraternity.

Vera Auest and Frances Backs are co-chairmen of this C of C civic committee. "The enthusiastic response last year to this endeavor by the merchants," says Vera Auest, "prompted the project again this year.
