ANAHEIM GAZETTE.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1871.
Notice
Our patrons at Santa Ana will please notice that W. H. Spurgeon, Esq., of that place, is an authorized agent for the Gazette, to receive both money and subscriptions.
Industrial Condition of the County.
Notwithstanding our people have delayed to plant until the last rains, in hopes that a flood would come—and no matter if we are on the verge of another tolerably dry season—the County at large is bound to prosper right along. There is no section under cultivation but that will produce abundantly, while the area of cultivated land is much larger now than last year. Who doubts but that the wine men will prosper as usual? Who is so splenetic as to assert that the Monte and Los Nietos, and those living along the valleys of the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers, will not raise abundant crops? If any such there be, he is a short-sighted, billions, pudden-headed, stupid ass.
In the vicinity of Anaheim the people are prospering, without the shadow of a doubt. Water has been extended to Fairview, and through the Coyote Valley, and those who have no water do not need it. At Santa Ana, every farmer is cheerful and contented. A few days since, while at that place, we took occasion to inquire of an assembler...
In the vicinity of Anaheim the people are prospering, without the shadow of a doubt. Water has been extended to Fairview, and through the Coyote Valley, and those who have no water do not need it. At Santa Ana, every farmer is cheerful and contented. A few days since, while at that place, we took occasion to inquire of an assembling of fifteen farmers (who had gathered at the store of Mr. Spurgeon,) if they were satisfied, or discouraged; and they unanimously declared their satisfaction with their prospects, and the prospects of their vicinity for the coming year. Now, it is quite certain that, if nine tenths of our people are satisfied, the other tenth must be the uneasy, shiftless class, which falls to our lot as well as to the lot of all communities, to have subsist among and upon us. While buildings continue to be erected, fences continue to be put up, new lands continue to be plowed, and money is as plenty as it now is hereabouts, the man who complains is insulting dame Fortune, and may some day experience hard times, as a punishment for his present grumbling.
Mr. Olden's Letter.
In our last issue we published an interesting letter from Mr. W. R. Olden, on the subject of deep plowing and thorough pulverization of the soil, as preventive of the evil effects resulting from drought. Mr. Olden's labors seem to be directed, mainly, to securing a sufficient supply of moisture to sustain vegetable life. He fails to point out equally important benefits resulting from the system adopted by him. As addenda to his excellent letter, we subjoin a few comments for the benefit of our farmers:
Perfect pulverization accomplishes a thorough disintegration and mechanical admixture of the various ingredients of the soil. The action of the atmosphere and heat generate changes, which are facilitated by loosening and mixing the earth, and the plant food contained in the soil is thus brought in contact with the delicate root fibres—also distances and presented, couple-stance of its having already printed by the enterprise in skilful hands, and of success.

Perfect pulverization accomplishes a thorough disintegration and mechanical admixture of the various ingredients of the soil. The action of the atmosphere and heat generate changes, which are facilitated by loosening and mixing the earth, and the plant food contained in the soil is thus brought in contact with the delicate root fibres—which act as mouths to the plant—in soluble form, supplying it readily with the elements of growth. A wider range is provided for the roots of the plant to travel in pursuit of food (carbonic acid, ammonia and water), held in store by this means in greater abundance. Deep and thorough pulverization of the soil admits of a much more free and extensive circulation of air; and, as the subsoil is much cooler than the air, it acts as a condenser, and as the air comes in contact with it, it is decomposed, and water is left in the soil richly laden with carbonic acid and ammonia. There is a bountiful supply of water, held in solution by the air, in the dryest weather; and, consequently, if the soil could be kept completely pulverized to a sufficient depth, crops could be produced without rain.
In a recent letter to the Call, Col Strong cites, in proof of the correctness of this view, the experiments of Mr. Dickson of Georgia, the leading authority on cotton culture in the South, and Mr. Dalton of England, who demonstrated by practical tests that a soil pulverized to the depth of 26 and 30 inches, respectively, would bring crops to maturity without a drop of rain.

San Diego Railroad.
News from Washington, in reference to the Southern Pacific Railroad with terminus at San Diego, is to the effect that the bill has passed the Senate, and gone to the House for concurrence, and to be brought up in the latter body before the 15th inst., with every prospect of a successful passage.
The following table shows the mean monthly average of temperature at Memphis, Tenn., and Anaheim, California. It is the best answer that can be made to the oft-repeated assertions that the climate of California is unsuited to the production of cotton:

RAILROAD TO ARIZONA — We acknowledge the receipt of a printed document from the House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., relating to the proposed Railroad from Wilmington to Arizona. It sets forth the particular and advantageous features of the Road, minutely describes the country along the route, sets forth the mineral and agricultural resources of the Interior, also distances and cost of constructions. From the shape in which the subject is presented, coupled with the circumstance of its having been referred and already printed by the House, we judge the enterprise is being managed by skilful hands, and with a fair prospect of success.
WILMINGTON STAGE. — Now that another line of communication is open, be
also distances and cost of constructions.
From the shape in which the subject is presented, coupled with the circumstance of its having been referred and already printed by the House, we judge the enterprise is being managed by skilful hands, and with a fair prospect of success.
WILMINGTON STAGE.—Now that another line of communication is open, being a stage line from Anaheim to Wilmington, it is hoped that our citizens, at least, will give it every encouragement and all possible patronage. In order to get the "cork out of the bottle" wherein Anaheim lies at present, and to bring us better communications, let those we do obtain meet with permanent encouragement.
PROSPECTIVE RESIDENT.—We are happy to announce that there is a fair prospect that Timo: Lynch, Esq., agent of the Land Company, may soon take up his residence at Anaheim. This being in the center of his field of labors, and where his business can be managed with greater facility.
HEAVY FREIGHT.—On her last trip down, the Wm. Tabor had on board 600 tons of freight. Passing up, she took on 35 tons of grain at Anaheim Landing, and 2,000 sheep and 500 hogs at San Pedro. Her down trip netted $800.
Santa Ana.
The village of Santa Ana, now containing a population of about 150 souls, is owned, principally, by W. H. Spurgeon, A. L. Bush and D. H. Samis. It contains one general merchandise store, a post office (with daily mail), a fine school house, blacksmith and wagon shop, public hall, harness shop, a saloon and a large number of tastily constructed residences. The very newness of these buildings, and the continual projection and erection of others, is a circumstance calculated to convince an observing person that it has resources as a town, and good prospects as a location. Immediately outside the town plat is a two story brick house of very large dimensions, just completed, and which cost at least $10,000. It is the property

and a large number of tastily constructed residences. The very newness of these buildings, and the continual projection and erection of others, is a circumstance calculated to convince an observing person that it has resources as a town, and good prospects as a location. Immediately outside the town plat is a two story brick house of very large dimensions, just completed, and which cost at least $10,000. It is the property of Mr. T. Casad, and probably is not excelled for capacity and magnificence by any building in this county, outside of the city of Los Angeles. A new hotel is about to be built, and as the telegraph line passes through town, a telegraph office will soon be opened.
The principal owners of Santa Ana are men of means and experience. They have laid out broad streets, erected fine buildings, are offering inducements to settlers; and their enterprise will be governed by no narrow policy. The lots are 50x125 feet, and fifty of them are already sold and occupied by permanent residents. This town is the offspring of 1870. It is already the center of trade for a large agricultural district, and for its future we can only predict the most certain and rapid success.
The Southern Pacific Trans-Continental Railroad Bill, which is soon to come before the House of Representatives for final action, has developed greater strength than its friends claimed or hoped for.
Unquestioned—The reported loss of the steamship Tennessee, having on board the San Domingo Commission, proves to be wholly unfounded: The ship and Commission are O.K.
