IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... August—1882 If Anaheim Landing was fifty miles from town instead of twelve miles, our people would appreciate its advantages more and resort there in larger numbers, on the same principle which induces people to buy articles which bear a foreign mark although they are inferior to the domestic product. The Landing is conveniently situated to Anaheim and surrounding towns, it has a good restaurant, comfortable lodging houses and clean tract for tents, and the bathing beach is superior to that of any watering place on the southern coast. The breakers never get too boisterous, and there is a bay which is as placid as a pond for those who prefer that kind of bathing. In short it has a hundred advantages. The reputed danger from stingrays is mythical. There have not been more than half a dozen people stung in as many years. At Laguna where there are no stingrays (according to popular tradition) three men were stung by them at different times last week. The Board of Supervisor's will at their regular meeting in Los Angeles on Monday open the bids for the purchase of the court the latest improved distilling machinery. Mr. A. E. White has purchased four acres of land on Los Angeles street from Messrs. Melrose and Dreyfus and will, as soon as the season permits plant it with vines and trees and thus form the nucleus of a home. The residence of Mr. J. M. Guinn on Center street is for sale. Full particulars can be had on application to Mr. John Hanna. The Cash Store is in receipt of a large invoice of goods purchased at the closing out sale of A. T. Stewart & Co., New York. Go and see these bargains. Butter and eggs taken in exchange. Mr. Erwin Barr last week sold his 35 acre tract to Mr. Chas. E. Brown of Tombstone for $5,000. Mr. Barr has 16 acres of unimproved land opposite the place just sold and will immediately plant it to trees and vines and make his home thereon. 50 Years Ago...

Backs, died in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening neral services were held in city this afternoon. The Board of Supervisor's will at their regular meeting in Los Angeles on Monday open the bids for the purchase of the court house. Until it is known what the property can be sold for, it is impossible to express an opinion as to the advisability of building a new court house. A suitable and sightly building of the kind is needed and ought to be built if the cost is not too great. The school bonds were sold as follows: Orange school bonds to Wm. Cardwell, $5000 at 5½ per cent premium, Mountain View School bonds to I. W. Hellman at 3½ per cent premium. In the Board of Equalization the bee men made application for a reduction from $2 to $1 per hive, but the assessment was sustained. A famous London lecturer speaking recently in that city said in regard to present fashionable attire for our wives and daughters, "Dressed as women are, the less exercise they take the better for health. In fact, they are seldom fit to stand erect or walk a block, but should be rolled around or carried on a palanquin. Not one woman in ten thousand has room inside her clothes for the rise and fall of her ribs in breathing, and there is not one in ten thousand whose vital organs are not displaced by external pressure. While this is so, the less exercise the better." A. Langenberger is building a brick building to be used as a distillery. The building is 29x40 feet and will be fitted up with LEGAL NOTICE (Pub.

August—1907 The city trustees held a special meeting on Tuesday evening and granted C. Schindler & Son an extension of time in their contract with the city for constructing sidewalks on Chartres, Chestnut, Oak and Claudina streets. The time limit on the original contract expired on July 22nd. On recommendation of the superintendent of streets, the council accepted the sidewalks on Chartres and Oak streets. There were present Trustees Rust, Fiscus and Darling. A deed from the state to James Irvine, owner of the Irvine lands, of 223.14 acres of tide lands at the head of Newport Bay has caused some alarm among sportsmen who fear that a duck preserve may be made there. The document was signed by Henry J. Gage, then governor of California, on January 25, 1901. The deed covers the land surrounding the shallow arm of the bay running inland several miles along Port Orange. Work upon the new concrete tower for the water works is progressing rapidly and will soon be ready for the tank. The cement well pit also being rushed to completion is of a substantial character and together with the two fine wells forms a valuable asset to the city's water works. The new enlarged water mains are being laid and quite an activity pervades the various city departments. Many new water and light consumers will be added to the list just as soon as the water works and electric light improvements are completed. The present plant has been overloaded for months past, owing to the rapid growth of the city, and with the enlarged and modern power house equipped with the latest and best machinery, the city's municipal plant will LEGAL NOTICE (Pub.

Furial services were held in that day this afternoon. Edison Co. Plans Factory Gas Fuel On Smoggy Days James F. Davenport, executive vice president of Southern California Edison Company, today praised the efforts of Los Angeles City officials to provide industry with natural gas to be used instead of fuel oil on smoggy days. At the same time, however, Davenport emphasized that this plan would provide only a very minor part of Edison's natural gas needs, and that the company will continue with its plan to bring in more natural gas from other areas as a smog abatement measure. Gas Companies Agree City Attorney Roger Arnebergh had announced earlier that the local gas companies have agreed to supply natural gas for industrial use on smog-critical days. "This plan does not mean that any additional gas will be obtained from the gas supply companies for electric generation or for other industry," Davenport explained, "It simply means that the limited gas available from the supply companies will be allocated for use on the days of heaviest atmospheric conditions." In an effort to obtain more natural gas, Edison has within the past year concluded two long term agreements with producers...

In an effort to obtain more natural gas, Edison has within the past year concluded two long term agreements with producers—Richfield Oil Corporation and El Paso Natural Gas Company. In order to bring in gas from Richfield's reserves in the San Joaquin Valley, Edison is preparing to construct a 130-mile pipeline, at a cost of $24,000,000. Davenport pointed out. The art of carpet making may be traced to Turkey, to Persia and to the East Indies. ANAHEIM TRUCK & TRANSFER CO. Moving - Storage General Trucking PHONE KE 5-2863 505 S.
