ANAHEIM GAZETTE. SATURDAY AUGUST 18, 1871. We enjoyed, on Saturday night, the pleasure of a drive over the plains to this thriving sooty location nearly adjoinning that of the Santa Settlement on the North and West, lying between the latter and Anaheim Landing. It was laid out last fall by our enterprising fellow citizen Rev. L. P. Webber on the ranches La Bolsa and La Bolsa Chica, about eight miles southwesterly from Anaheim. It embraces about seven thousand acres of land and is divided into eighty parts of 40, 80, and 160 acres each. One tract of 160 acres has been subdivided into two-acre lots for a town site. Twenty-five of the farm tracts are already sold and eleven residences built thereon. The present dwellers upon the tract are Messrs. Anderson, Moffett, McChesney, Rev. Mr. Mack, Stephens, Brown, Craig, Napier and Colson, most of whom have their families with them, and it is expected that all of the farms sold will be occupied by the coming fall. The lands are at present held at $13.50 per acre. The location is sightly and agreeable, only four miles from the sea and must ultimately make beautiful homes. Mr. Webber has conferred an important beset upon us in including this desirable acquisition to our population, and serves great credit for his enterprise. SOUTHERN DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. A member of this society was recently held in Los Angeles to make preliminary arrangements for holding the San Antonio Agricultural Association. We have been requested to publish the following notice: The people of Anaheim and vicinity, are invited to attend a Mass Meeting, at the Town Anaheim on Saturday evening the Inst. A number of speakers will be present." It is announced that a party are about to commence the way of a narrow gauge railroad from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles. This will prove an important item true, for Southern California, for building of that road would probably inaugurate a complete system of co-railroad lines that would place as speedy railroad communication wi San Francisco. It is also stated by San Diego Union, we know not how much foundation in fact, but the Texas Pacific Railway Company with Thomas A. Scott and his associates of the Pennsylvania Central, as its controlling force, are preparing to build transcontinental road from the Eastern borders of Texas to San Diego whence it will be extended along the coast to San Francisco, with branches through the counties of Southern California. The powder tanks found by the swimmers in the Confederate iron-civil defense now lying in thirty or forty feet off Chaffee Shoal, are due to be used as before its submergence, six years ago. The celebrated racing horse "Long Fellow," has been sold by Mr. Harper to an Englishman for $100,000 the same." Four miles from the sea and must ultimately make beautiful homes. Mr Webber has conferred an important beset upon us in inducing this desirable acquisition to our population, and serves great credit for his enterprise. Southern District Agricultural Association. A meeting of this society was recently held at Los Angeles to make preliminary arrangements for holding the first Agricultural Fair under its auspices and complete the purchase of a stock farm suitable for fair grounds. Members were appointed to lay out the grounds and make improvements necessary for the coming fair, which is to commence on Tuesday Oct. 31st. A speed programme was also made out and adopted, which will be found elsewhere in our columns. Cigars and Tobacco.—Mr. P. A. Clark has added to his stock, a fine assortment of cigars, tobacco and smoking materials generally. We have tried the cigars, and know they are good. See new advertisement. New Postoffice.—A Postoffice has been established at Riverside San Bernardino county, and James P. Greves commissioned as Postmaster. A Scoundrel.—The Star of the Sth. inst, contains an account of the rascally doings of one "Doctor Eady Stevenson," in Los Angeles who made an insulting proposition to a lady patient, and was deservedly whipped by her husband. We should judge, from the Star's article, that shooting would have been more appropriate punishment for the villian. He afterwards drew a pistol on the husband, but was promptly knocked down and it is suggested that he will be ridden out of Los Angeles on a rail with tar and feather accompaniment, if he does not speedily rid that city of his presence. New Election Precinct.—A new precinct called Santa Ana Precinct has been formed out of a portion of San Joaquin precinct. T. J. Scully is appointed Clerk, and Prudencio Yorba and John Rice, Judges to compose a Board of Powder tanks found by the wreckers in the Confederate iron-celled tank now lying in thirty or forty feet of water off Chaffinshill, are no longer there, and the powder as depository six years ago. The celebrated racing horse "Long fellow," has been sold by Mr. Harper to an Englishman for $100,000 the annual having made his running mile 1:40 the quickest time on record. The funeral of the late Phoebe Carr took place at New York on the 4th inst Horace Greeley was one of the pallet bearers. Peat has been successfully used for fuel on a Minnesota railroad. The total voting population of New York City is 184,607. The President has appointed Mathew McDougal Consul to Dundee, Scotland. The "Pacific Coast Advertiser" for August comes enlarged and presents a beautiful typographical appearance. The right of way over Rattlesnake Island has been conveyed to the Los Angeles and San Pedro R. R. Co. by Manuel Dominguez, as a preliminary step towards the extension of that road to deep water and the avoidance of lighterage in the future. Concerning the famous McGarrahan land case, the telegraph states that the Secretary of the Interior has rendered a decision rejecting the claims of both McGarrahan and the New Idria Company, and the property in dispute virtually reverts to the United States. Work on the Wilmington breakwater is at last likely to commence. Sealed proposals are advertised for in the Alta for its construction, the timber to be furnished by the United States; the work to commence the first week in September, and be completed by the first of March next. Fruits. Our markets are well supplied with the fruits of the season. Peaches of enormous size, fine large apples delicious melons and all the other NEW ELECTION PRECINCT.—A new precinct called Santa Ana Precinct has been formed out of a portion of San Joaquin precinct. T. J. Scully is appointed Clerk, and Prudencio Yorba and John Rice, Judges to compose a Board of Registration. THE MARKETS.—By the last circular of Littlefield, Webb & Co., San Francisco dated August 3rd, we find prices unchanged from our former report, except eggs which have slightly advanced. Failed to Connect.—Owing to the steamer Pacific sailing for San Francisco one day sooner than the usual time the passengers from this city failed to reach her. Mr. Mitchell informs us that the Telegraph Company, receive regular pay from him for advising him of the sailing of steamers, both from San Francisco and San Diego, but that on this occasion as well as a subsequent one, they have failed to do it. No blame is attached to the operator at this office. Visitors.—Among the visitors to Anaheim this week we have noticed, A W Potts, Juan Robarts and Capt. Haley of Los Angeles. Fairview Sunday School.—The citizens of Fairview school district, adopting Anaheim on the west, maintain a most thriving Sunday school, which is held in the school house of that district. Hon Edward Evey is Superintendent and Byron Clark, Librarian. It has a regular attendance of nearly forty scholars and teachers, and is a credit to the town and good sense of the people of the district. Fruits.—Our markets are well supplied with the fruits of the season. Peaches of enormous size, fine large apples delicious melons and all the other usual productions, both of the orchards and the vegetable gardens are with us, in abundance. Add to this our delightful full weather and it will be seen that we are enjoying ourselves. Fire Company Meeting.—At the meeting held last Monday evening at Enterprise hall, a permanent organization of the company was effected and the following named gentlemen elected officers for the ensuing year; S. J Davis President; R Luedke, Vice President; J A F. Heyerman Secretary; F Schneider Treasurer; P Richards, Foreman; Louis Darr. 1st Asst Foreman; Jerry Sullivan 2nd Asst Foreman. Elopement.—We learn that one of the dusky bellies of this place created a sensation in her social circle during the past week by eloping with the hombre of her choice, to the huge disgust of western parient! No cards! Church Meeting.—An important meeting of the congregation of the Presbyterian Church is to be held at the school house to morrow immediately after the morning service. FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS.—Fires are burning in the mountains north east of Anaheim, as may be seen from our official dark night. It is a pity that any of our limited supply of fuel should be needlessly consumed.
