IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette BY MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 15 Years Ago... THE STORM, (DEC. 1879) The warehouse owned by Judge Alexander Bailey in the rear of the Gazette building, was blown down on Sunday by the severe Santa Ana windstorm. The goods stored there by Cohen Brn., suffered no damage. The Grange building at the depot was badly wrenched and the occupants, Evans Bros., will seek new and safer quarters. A shed on Lemon street owned by Dr. D'Assonville was overturned and a small house on J. J. Hill's place met with a mutual mishap. A windmill in Ben Dreyfus' yard succumbed to the force of the wind. The most serious damage, however, was done to the orange crops, the violence of the wind dislodging great quantities of fruit. Mr. Parker estimates his loss from this cause at $900. Mr. Korn loses nearly one-half of his crop, and the fruit on Gus Davis' trees was thinned out considerably. The loss to Mr. Barr and other growers is quite heavy. Mr. Meredith's sheep were scattered and a few of them have not been found yet. The most remarkable illustration of the force of the wind is given by an occurrence at Mrs. Bordt's vineyard: A large tank cover, made of 1½ inch lumber, was lifted from the ground and deposited in the branches of a tree fifteen feet away, the branches being sixteen feet above the ground. The explanation of this probably is that an eddy of wind formed at this particular spot suitable for distilling. John Hartung will plant 20 acres of vines on land formerly owned by Mr. John Fischer, east of the Hartung vineyard, M. M. Oefinger will also plant 5 acres this year and will endeavor to grow them without irrigation. Many of the vineyardists will take up some of their old vines and plant cuttings instead. Nap Donovan has sold the Santa Ana Herald to J. W. Layman, who promises to keep it up to the standard of excellence it has always maintained. A part of the front portion of H. Cahen's store has been rented by Miss Wallace, and on Wednesday next she will open with a full line of millinery goods. It is announced upon good authority that track laying is to be commenced on the Arizona extension of the Southern Pacific railroad next month, also that the road will be finished by the middle of January. One of the tall majestic poplars opposite Mr. Bennerscheldt's tin shop on Center street fell during the storm the other day. On cutting it the wood was found to be very much decayed. The popular row is one of the things which will always evoke favorable comment from strangers, and the death of even one of the trees is greatly to be deplored.

The explanation of this probably is that an eddy of wind formed at this particular spot where the cover was lying. The fierce wind of Monday filled up a bank of sand across the railroad track about two miles south of Anaheim and the locomotive of the Santa Ana train ran against the drift in the evening and was thrown from the track. Stages were sent from Santa Ana to get the passengers and mail, and assistance arrived from Los Angeles early on Tuesday morning and the locomotive was soon placed on the tracks. "It is never so bad but what it might be worse," is an old maxim. The wind was not a drying one—in fact the weather was quite cold at the height of the storm. Very little moisture was taken from the ground and sheepmen say the grass was not injured in the leash. The wind was the heaviest and longest which has prevailed since 1809. In that year it blew with even greater force. The Cotton Semi Tropic says: "L. J. Rose of San Gabriel has made 220,000 gallons of wine and 40,000 gallons of brandy this season, and is now buying wine to help out the brandy as he has not enough to run him through the season. He is paying 17½ cents per gallon for new wine." One of the tall majestic poplars opposite Mr. Bennerscheldt's tin shop on Center street fell during the storm the other day. On cutting it the wood was found to be very much decayed. The popular row is one of the things which will always evoke favorable comment from strangers, and the death of even one of the trees is greatly to be deplored. Attention is directed to the advertisement of Mr. A. E. White who has lately settled here and commenced business. He has the reputation of being a firstclass general blacksmith and he has been endorsed as a superior horse-shoer. The advertisement of Mrs. McKinnie offering for sale a number of desirable household articles is published today. In order to speedily dispose of them, they will be offered at very low prices. Among the articles are two benches, chest of tools, two crib bedsteads, two writing desks, one washing machine, grindstone, nails, lumber, and other items. There will be a real wedding cake at the grand Thanksgiving supper in Kroeger's hall given by ladies of the Episcopal church. The bride will cut it and the young person who gets the ring will be the next one married. 50 Years Ago... December 1904 Now that the election is over, credit for the victory in Orange county should be awarded in no Holiday Greetings BACKS, CAMPBELL and KAULBARS MORTUARY 251 N. LEMON STREET — ANAHEIM little part to the chairman of the Republican County Central Committee. Hon. R. Y. Williams of Santa Ana, who has been untiring in his efforts for many months to bring about the glorious results. Mr. Williams has proven himself to be a most energetic campaign manager, and his work did not cease until the votes were counted the night of the election day. On the day of the election he drove to many of the county precincts to look after the progress of the vote and to investigate reports of "scratching" which had come to his attention. His work did much to keep voters in line, and the result is attributable in great part to his efforts in behalf of the whole ticket. The party owes a debt of gratitude to him and his efficient secretary for which the future should have adequate reward. Judge Marquez was in town from Peralta on Saturday. He reports the Republican tidal wave overwhelming in the up-river prefect of Yorba. Judge Marquez used to be one of the few Republicans at Yorba, but he thinks another election will make it unanimous. Miss Ida Bentz has had plans drawn for a $2,000 cottage to be erected on Claudina street north of the new residence of Druggist Hutchinson. Capt. Herman Stern has received from Adjutant-General Laux notification of approval of Col. Finley's recommendation relative to Co. E's target range north of town. Col.

The range will be made one of Angeles for two years and Mrs. Neill has been staying with the family of Dr. Jones at Santa Ana for the past year. Valuable community property is involved. Efforts on the part of defendant for an amicable settlement have failed. Dan Murphy's Brea Canyon Oil company uncovered another gusher a few days ago, and reports from the canyon are to the effect the well is the best ever drilled in the neighborhood. The well began doing business at a depth of 2100 feet. It will not be turned loose at present to give it a test, but it is known to be good for from 1500 to 2000 barrels of 20 gravity oil daily. It has been six months since it was begun. County Recorder Peters was in town Sunday taking in the ball game between Olinda and the Hamburgers in which Olinda won by a score of 7 to 3.
