IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 50 Years Ago... February 1905 Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the famous poet, who is spending the winter in California, will visit this week, her nephew, L. Harry Wilcox, at his match in the Katella district. Mrs. Wilcox is an authoress of world wide repute, and there are many people here as elsewhere, who know her by her poems and other literary productions. It is a pleasure to extend to her a welcome to the community, coupled with the expression of the hope that her brief stay may be pleasant to her and those with whom she may come in contact. Might one not also indulge the hope that she may observe things of sufficient interest to warrant a future reference by her gifted pen.

Bac greater mastervner- "Metro service is very reliable" So says Janet Briar of Riverside, radio station Traffic Manager. "What most people want in public transportation is convenience and comfort—and Metro certainly makes good in both ways. Because I use the bus almost every day, I am in a good position to judge the standard of service. And I'll give Metro a top rating. Your buses get me where I want to go, when I want to get there." "I'll recommend Metro any time" This statement comes from Thomas McKee, who frequently rides the bus from his home in Alhambra to Pasadena and downtown Los Angeles. Mr. McKee, a gardening enthusiast, says "My family is all for Metro, because the buses have those low, easy steps and comfortable riding qualities. Getting on at the curb is so much safer than those dangerous mid-street islands. Metro service is fine and the drivers Fred Gruenemay, seconde Jos. Backs, Andrew Roerderectors; Wm.

The Committee on Public Improvements was ordered to confer with the Anaheim Fire Company relative to the purchase of hose and hose cart, with authority to subscribe an amount not exceeding $25 if in their judgment such action was wise and necessary.

The Anaheim Fire Company did not consummate the purchase of the fire hose from the San Bernardino authorities, and is is well they did not. A San Bernardino paper speaking of the last fire at that place says: "The 600 feet of hose that was purchased with the engine has proved to be utterly worthless. At this fire it burst in so many places that it became impossible for the firemen to get a good stream on the fire. The town council has ordered a new supply it for 33 cents a quart; homeery costs a few pennies more Minneapolis and Duluth a costs as much as 39 cents. so say processors, this is less it would cost a housewife to a quart of juice at home. Prosors say it takes 16 oranges or less, to make a quart of. At these prices the freshuct is more expensive than juice.

The Odd Fellows on Tuesday evening decided to begin erection of their new two-story brick block as soon as a selection can be made from several sites offered. A decision will, it is said, be arrived at in a few days. Two of the sites most favored, one the Barborka lot on Center street and the Federman lot near the city hall. The building will cost $12,000. Miss Kittie Weisel has been in Hollywood during the week vis-à-vis the Anaheim Fire Company did not consume the purchase of the fire hose from the San Bernardino authorities, and is well they did not. A San Bernardino paper speaking of the last fire at that place says: "The 600 feet of hose that was purchased with the engine has proved to be utterly worthless. At this fire it burst in so many places that it became impossible for the firemen to get a good stream on the fire. The town council has ordered a new supply of 800 feet. Our cooper, Mr. Chas. Wille, is making a large lot of honey barrels to fill orders already received. The barrels made by Mr. Wille are growing more in favor every year, and he supplies all of the apiarists in this section. He will also hereafter keep a stock of liquor kegs and barrels on hand. Governor and Mrs. Perkins held a reception at Sacramento yesterday. The editor acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to be present. There has been no lack of entertainment in Anaheim lately. On Saturday night the blind fiddler performed to a fair audience, on Sunday night the theatrical performance and ball was well attended and on Tuesday afternoon and night another traveling show completely filled Krooger's hall. Mr. Henry Knapke has been re-elected zanjero of the Anaheim Water Company. There is a very fine reservoir at Pasadena. It is built on strictly scientific principals and is architecturally perfect. It has however the slight defect of not being able to hold water. The entire winter's supply has gone to waste. The four hundred acres of sugar beets near Florence planted by R. Nadeau is growing finely and the frost does not seem to have affected them in the least. The Anaheim Literary Society met on Thursday evening at the Presbyterian church. Miss Ella Mitchell was elected president pro tem. Miss Carrie Selbert favored the society with a vocal solo. Miss Brier recited, "The Last Rice."

Scenic Citrus, which has capacity for turning out 150,000 gallons of juice a week, will have a second line in production within 60 days, doubling its present capacity. It's shipping to such widely separated areas as Texas, New York, Kansas, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Oklahoma. Golden Gift's Increase Golden Gift, which added a second shift five weeks ago, has hiked output from 10 to 15 trucks a week currently. A truck holds 12,000 quarts. Golden Gift went into Texas and Chicago last week for the first time, bringing to 25 the number of markets it is serving. "The way sales are going we'll quadruple last year's production," predicts Andrew P. Young, president of Golden Gift. Ben Jacobstein, president of Florida Juice, reports sales each week show a 5% to 10% increase over the preceding week. Anthony Rossi, president of Fruit Industries, claims he's selling fresh juice to more than 600 dairies and is adding at least ten new ones daily. Producers of fresh juice agree that its biggest selling points are its natural flavor and the convenience factor. There's no fuss or bother squeezing oranges, they confend, nor do you have to thaw and reconstitute the juice by adding water as in the case with frozen concentrate. "All you do with our stuff," says one maker, "is pour and drink." Will Price Come Down? A quart of fresh juice retails for 33 cents to 39 cents, depending upon locality. In New York, for instance, some chain stores sell The Odd Fellows on Tuesday evening decided to begin erection of their new two-story brick block as soon as a selection can be made from several sites offered.

The Anaheim Literary Society met on Thursday evening at the Presbyterian church. Miss Ella Mitchell was elected president pro tem. Miss Carrie Selbert favored the society with a vocal solo. Miss Brier recited, "The Last Rice." Miss Lydia Parker recited, "Dare to Do Right," a temperance selection. A debate, "Resolved That unprincipled journalism is a greater evil than bad legislation," was decided in favor of the affirmative; which was upheld by J. M. Guinn and D. R. Payne. Negative, C. W. Campbell and Mr. Parker. Five carloads of wine and two of brandy have been shipped to San Francisco during the week by B. Dreyfus. It is expected that the Arizona branch of the Southern Pacific R.

This team is the foundation of a New Freedom Gas Laundry—as important a part of modern homes as a New Freedom Gas Kitchen. Only GAS gives yo for 33 cents a quart; home delivery costs a few pennies more. In Minneapolis and Duluth a quart costs as much as 39 cents. Even say processors, this is less than would cost a housewife to make quart of juice at home. Processors say it takes 16 oranges, more less, to make a quart of juice. At these prices the fresh product is more expensive than frozen juice. Leading concentrates now are selling anywhere from 30 cents to 35 cents for two six-once cents to 35 cents for two six-once a quart and a pint of juice. But fresh juice processors are confident they ultimately can bring their price down from its present level. Most processors sell their juice for approximately 20 cents a quart f.o.b. Says Fruit Industries' Mr. Rossi: "There's a good chance the price will come down as volume and competition increase." Like any new industry, fresh juice processing has its problems. Probably the biggest concern right now is how to stay in business during the eight to ten weeks during the summer when there is no fruit available. (To be continued) Buying or Selling Property?
