IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 50 Years Ago... February 15, 1906 A. T. Pendleton was in town on Tuesday from Placentia. He has sold his orange crop, which he pronounces equal to the best he has raised in the sixteen years of his experience as a grower, at prices eminently satisfactory to himself and expects to have the entire crop moved in a few weeks. He located in Placentia twenty-one years ago and has been selling oranges since 1889. During that time he has never had occasion to resort to artificial means to prevent frost and has never lost an orange. Mr. Pendleton settled on a barley field and now lives on what is probably the richest orange and walnut growing district in the world. Louis Denni was in town from Los Alamitos on Saturday. He reports a large acreage going into beets with a very flattering prospect for a heavy yield. Mr. Denni purchased the Pamperl property on Los Angeles street three years ago paying $2000 therefor and has recently refused $5500 for it. He values it at present at $6000. John Hartung went to Los Angeles on Saturday in response to a telegraphic offer of $30,000 for a piece of property fronting 100 feet on Main street near Washington 75 Years Ago... February 12, 1881 The Town Trustees met yesterday and drew up an ordinance which will probably have the effect of mitigating in some degree the tramp nuisance. The ordinance provides that the Marshal shall offer all persons without visible means of support, work on the roads at $1 a day and if such offer is refused they will be confined for forty-eight hours in the city jail on a diet of bread and water. If they fail to leave town within three hours after their confinement the process of imprisonment will be continued ad lib. Fifty copies of the ordinance will be printed and posted on telegraph poles along the railroad so that the tramp fraternity will know what to expect if they come here. It is reported that a large body of them are coming down from the North, and if they know what is good for themselves, they will switch off at Los Angeles and go Arizonaward. A deluge such as never before experienced in the state, occurred in the northern counties the latter part of last week and continued into the present week. In Napa, Solano, Sonoma, Sacramento, Siskiyou and other counties immense damage has been done to public and private property. MORE ABOUT... Olive Citrus House (Continued from Page 1) converted to shipping in cartons Because of this, the officers and management of Olive Hillside Groves must decide whether to spend a large amount of money to further modernize plant equipment and facilities to take full advantage of the new volume-filled method of filling cartons, or else evolve a somewhat modified program, without much investment to hand-pack cartons, according to Guard. Glenn A. Harris, president of Pure Gold, outlined some of the progressive changes which have taken place in the California citrus industry in recent years. A. L. Chandler, manager, Field Services Department, Pure Gold briefly reported the successful results obtained from Pure Gold's experimental trials with prepackaging oranges, lemons and grape fruit in transparent plastic bags made of polyethylene. He revealed that the new consumer-size pack age was well liked by the retail trade and has definitely proven its worth. Manager Guard pointed out that a valuable addition to the association was Glenco Citrus Products, currently one of the largest producers of fresh orange juice for distribution through the daily industry. He revealed that Glenco, during the past season, had purchased 95,000 boxes of Valencia oranges as supplementary supplies. This fruit was processed... John Hartung went to Los Angeles on Saturday in response to a telegraphic offer of $30,000 for a piece of property fronting 100 feet on Main street near Washington which he purchased several years ago jointly with Richard Krebs, paying $7500 therefor. He declined to sell on account of the upward tendency of property values in that part of the city. One of the city banks recently purchased the opposite corner and will in the near future erect a building for its use at that point. Damon Snodgrass of the Jungle ranch in the West End and is advertising stock for sale at a bargain if taken at once. Damon will leave in April for Arkansas where he goes to look up their tract of land upwards of 200 acres. He has never seen the land and may arrange to dispose of it. Edgar Johnson of the Fullerton Tribune and Gene Schneider of the News were in town this week and dropped in for a fraternal call. J. A. Vall was in town from Fullerton on Tuesday. He is preparing to ship cabbage from Fullerton and Brookshurst and predicts a large and fine crop with good prices. The Wisconsin and New York cabbage crops are short and with freezes in southern cabbage farms, the California grower is destined to have a happy time of it. As high as $23 per ton is being offered but Mr. Vall says the market conditions are not sufficiently settled to state with positiveness just what the net price will be. Fifty-five one hundredths of an inch of rain fell during the showers which prevailed the fore part of the week, bringing the total according to Mr. Dickel's gauge to 8.73 inches, last year to date 8.79. On February 16 last year 1.60 inches fell. A deluge such as never before experienced in the state, occurred in the northern counties the latter part of last week and continued into the present week. In Napa, Solano, Sonoma, Sacramento, Siskiyou and other counties immense damage has been done to public and private property. Damage in Napa City alone is estimated at $50,000. On Monday the Sacramento river was 26½ feet above low water mark—something unprecedented. The country around Sacramento is overflowed, and the entire valley on Wednesday presented the appearance of an inland sea, the levees having broken. The town of Washington in Yolo county is inundated. What with too much rain in the north and too little in the south, the prospects for the farmers in both sections are not rose colored. The farmers of the south, however, have rather the advantage, as they are bound to raise some part of a crop and price will undoubtedly be remunerative. Governor and Mrs. George C. Perkins will hold a reception in Sacramento on the 16th inst. We beg to acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to be present. Mr. L. F. Lewis has received his hay scales and they will be put in position in a few days. Their weighing capacity is four tons. These scales will prove a great convenience to the public.

More on... Annexation... (Continued from Page 1) was noted that Anaheim had recei ved a request for a Stanton Ave. Annexation and had a similar request on Sept. 30, 1955, for a West Anaheim Annexation No. 2, both of which include some of the territory in the Buena Park annexation. Because proponents of the proposed city of Tri-Cities had filed a notice of intention to circulate petitions for incorporation, Anaheim held its annexations in inhabited territory in abeyance Since the Tri-Cities incorporation did not materialize, the law prohibited any further proceedings of either incorporation or annexation in the territory under the notice of intention until 50 days had passed. At the expiration of the 50 days Anaheim then proceeded with its plans for annexations, after proper petitions were filed and hearings were held. Elections are now scheduled for March 6. In the restraining order or writ of review, Anaheim is asking the court to restrain Buena Park from completing its annexation, to grant a preliminary injunction and after a court review to declare the annexation invalid. A hearing was held Monday in Superior Court Judge Kenneth E. Morrison presiding.
