ANAHEIM MEMORIES 20 YEARS AGO, JANUARY, 1882 Winter Wonderland The Gazette went to press last week before any news was received from the points regarding the unprecedented storm which raged from Siskiyon to San Diego, and in total disregard of the usual order of things, it seemed to rage with greatest fury in the southern part of the state. It was one of those climatic surprises which seem original with California, and not in this generation may such a freak be again witnessed. The strangest and most unnatural circumstance of all was the choking of the Anaheim ditch by the snow. The most vivid imagination would never have ventured to predict the stopping of the flow of water in the irrigating ditches by a gorge of snow. But so it happened. There were three large heads of water flowing in the ditch on Thursday, and it came uninterruptedly until Friday at noon. It then stopped and when the Zanjero investigated he found a snow blockade in the ditch about a mile east of town. The snow had floated down the ditch in large balls, the water being too cold to melt it, and so rapidly did it accumulate that before the water could be shut off nearly two miles of ditch was filled up with the hardened snow. The blockade continued from Friday until Monday. The Cajon ditch and the Orange ditch had a similar experience. and Ernest Neubaur went to Mount Lowe on Sunday to enjoy a festival of snowballing. They climbed up the mountain at the incline, took the cars to Alpine town, and proceeded through the snow to Mount Lowe. The scenery was grand. They returned in the evening. A party of snowballers was on the cars and there was snowballing for further orders. Descending the incline in the car at night a beautiful sight was beheld. Lights of Pasadena twinkled at their best, the large street arcs standing out prominently above the incandescent lights. Los Angeles could be plainly seen, while in the distance the large string of lights at Ventura were distinguishable. Modern Edifice Architect Krause of Los Angeles was here this week with plans for the two-story brick business block soon to be erected on the north-west corner of Center and Emily. The plans have been accepted by the owner, Mrs. McLaughlin of Los Angeles and Mr. Krause was here for the purpose of giving local contractors a chance to make bids for erecting the building. Bids will be open next week. The building is to be two stories with two store rooms below, each 23 by 28 feet, and the second story containing eighteen rooms will be used as a lodging house or hotel. The building will be of bream pressed brick with gold brick trimmings and plate glass front, and will cost $13,000. Milkman Gilbert Landell writes from Colorado saying he has been appointed general manager of the Colorado Condensed Milk Company, a branch of one of the largest milk firms in the world, the Mohawk Co. of Rochester, New York. In a letter to the editor he asks about all of his old friends and sends his regards. Me and My Dog Tom Scott came in from Allesandro on Monday to be present at the annual inspection and drill of Company E. Tom is a railway station agent at Allessandro, and mayor and president of the Board of Trade. He and the dog run the depot and the nearest house in two and a half miles away. He answered to his name at roll call drilled like a veteran and departed for his far-away home on Tuesday. New Tract?

The blockade continued from Friday until Monday. The Cajon ditch and the Orange ditch had a similar experience. Lone Bidder The Board of Supervisors met on Monday and awarded the publication of the delinquent tax list to J. L. Lynch, he being the only bidder. A communication from the Los Angeles city council was received stating that they did not deem it advisable to sell their interest in the jail property at the preesnt time. The tax collector informed the board that the delinquent tax list this year will approximate $48,942.17. Of this amount $34,343.10 is assessed against the Southern Pacific railroad, leaving $14,599.07 of general taxes to be collected.

Forty non-union Southern California theatres emitted such an odor last Sunday night that they drove thousands of patrons onto the streets resulting this week in firing of pertinent questions at suspicious racketeers and union sympathizers in attempts to locate persons responsible for placing bombs in showhouses.
