ANAHEIM GAZETTE. CHAS. A. GARDNER; ... Ed'r & Prop'r. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1871. Notice. J. C. Hill Jr. is hereby authorized to receive subscriptions for the Gazette. The Gallatin Meeting. The meeting at Gallatin on Saturday last was a most prompt and determined move in the right direction, in two points of view, viz; inaugurating a concerted movement for county division, and giving utterance to another powerful expression of the will of the people against the subsidy movement of Banning & Co. Dr. J. E. Fulton was made chairman and S. H. Butterfield, secretary. A committee composed of Messrs J. H. Burk, W. Standifer, S. J. Davis and John Doland drafted a petition to the Legislature praying for the creation of a new County to be called ANAHEIM COUNTY, out of the eastern part of Los Angeles County, with the following boundaries: Commencing on the coast of the Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Old San Gabriel river, thence along the center of said river, in a Northerly direction until it intersects range line dividing Township No. 1 South, range 10 and 11 West of the San Bernardino Meridian, thence North on the same range line to the Northern boundary of Los Angeles county thence East to the Western boundary of San Bernardino County thence following said western line of San Bernardino county until it intersects the Western boundary of San Diego County thence Editor Gazette. As close into a somewhat pro- fence of the people of honest schemes of one make no apology for proposition to the people. It is a common practice with fire. And I now re- a thieving antsby the restone. I hereby suggest County the construction system of County Rail distributed and will b- the county. First a main through In a northerly direction until it intersects range line dividing Township No. 1 South, range 10 and 11 West of the San Bernardino Meridian, thence North on the same range line to the Northern boundary of Los Angeles county thence East to the Western boundary of San Bernardino County thence following said western line of San Bernardino county until it intersects the Western boundary of San Diego County thence along said western boundary line of San Diego county to the coast. Thence along the sea coast to the place of beginning, and showing that the new county would contain about 1,500 square miles, and represent taxable property to the amount of about three millions of dollars with a population of over 8,000 people (the number of votes cast in the County to be created at the last election being 1,039). This petition was adopted unanimously, and copies will be circulated for signatures. Resolutions were then passed condemning and denouncing the passage of the subsidy resolutions at the Anaheim convention and requesting the Representatives of this County to aid in a division of the county and use all honorable efforts against any subsidy to the L. A. & S. P. R. R. Co. Mr. Olden then submitted the following protest and resolutions, which will also be circulated throughout the county for signatures: PROTEST, To the Honorable, the Senate and Assembly of the Legislature of the State of California. We the people of Los Angeles county do hereby record our solemn protest against the attempt of one Phineas Banning, and his ainers and abettors to obtain the authority of your honorable body to permit this county to vote an enormous subsidy to certain Railroad schemes, to wit: Eighty miles from the city of Los Angeles toward Owen's River, 80 miles from said city toward San Bernardino; and 20 miles from Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad to the Santa Ana River. And we beg leave to offer the follow- Banning, and his aides and abettors to obtain the authority of your honorable body to permit this county to vote an enormous subsidy to certain Railroad schemes, to wit: Eighty miles from the city of Los Angeles toward Owen's River, 30 miles from said city toward San Bernardino; and 20 miles from Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad to the Santa Ana River. And we beg leave to offer the following Proamble and Resolutions, which ombody our opinions on the question of railroad subsidies: Whereas, We admit the great benefits conferred upon this county by the construction of railroads. It is nevertheless the opinion of the people of this county, that only those who are directly benefited by such roads should aid in their construction by subsidy or otherwise, there fore Resolved, That we, the people of Los Angeles county, are unalterably and entirely opposed to the present system of voting subsidies to all road corporations by the general vote of the people of a county. Resolved, That only those who pay tax or property to the assessed value of $300 should have the right to vote for the expenditure of money for the benefit of private individual corporations. Resolved, That we the people of Los Angeles county, (warned by previous experience) are entirely and unalterably opposed to granting one dollar of our money for any purpose whatever, to said Palaeas Banning, or his aiders, abettors or employers. The meeting adjourned until Wednesday noon, 20th inst., at Enterprise Hall Anaheim. The Grape Growers Association of Sonoma, Napa, and Solano counties have adopted a memorial to the Legislature, praying for such a trespass law as shall relieve the owners of vineyards from the necessity of maintaining outside and division fenoes. Correspondence. SANTA ANA Nov. 26th, 1871. Editor Gazette; Dear Sir. I have often heard dog stories, raccoon stories, fish stories, &c. I propose to tell you a pumpkin story. Mr. William Tudford of Newport district, raised on his farm in the Williams Settlement, a pumpkin that weighed 173 pounds. I hauled it to my farm, cut a hole in it, and put one of my children in it. Seeing there was more room, I put in the second child, which is over 2 years old, the other being nearly five years old, and they were not much crowded either. Mr. Ross of Illinois planted some seed of the same variety, and I suppose they did well. The last account I had, his vines were running well. They had crossed the line over in Indiana, and was still running on. I have no papers for the vines, but have them all safe for the 173 pound pumpkin and its housing the children. Respectfully Yours, G L. Russell. Appeal Dec. 1st 1871 Editor Gazette. As circumstances have forced me into a somewhat prominent position, in the defence of the people of this County against the dishonest schemes of one Phineas Banning, I shall make no apology for presenting the following proposition to the people of Los Angeles county: It is a common practice on our prairie to fight with fire. And I now propose to fight and oppose a thieving subsidy by the substitution of an honest one. I hereby suggest to the people of this County the construction of the following described system of County Railroads which will be fairly distributed and will benefit equally all parts of the county. Common Council Proceedings. Session of the Common Council met Nov. 27th, 1871 at 3 o'clock p.m. Present, Monsa Champlin, Boone, and Pres. Zeyn. The following bills were ordered to be paid: T. Rimpan $30. T. T. Hill $25. Advocate $15. Gazette $2. C. F. Lehman $16. Reports of Treasurer and Marshal, for month of October approved. The Mayor reported that he had caused a brand to be made for the City Pound and had the same recorded. The brand being letter "A" was on motion accepted. Bill of P. Davis & Bro. referred to finance committee. On motion the City Att. was requested to procure a copy of the State Laws for the Common Council, and was likewise requested to draw up an Ordinance concerning the storage of hay within the fire limits of the City. The Council then adjourned to Dec. 11th, 1871. T. Rimpan, Clerk. The Anaheim (Cal.) Gazette, now published by Chas A. Gardner, comes to us in a much improved condition. It is highly appreciated as one of our exchanges - City Paragraph, Milwaukee Wis.

I shall make no apology for presenting the following proposition to the people of Los Angeles county. It is a common practice on our prairie to fight with fire. And I now propose to fight and oppose a thieving subsidy by the substitution of an honest one. I hereby suggest to the people of this County the construction of the following described system of County Railroads which will be fairly distributed and will benefit equally all parts of the county. First a main thorough line extending from the San Fernando valley to Los Angeles 20 miles thence to Anaheim, 30 miles thence to San Juan Capistrano 30 miles from Los Angeles to San Bernardino line by El Monte 30 miles; from Anaheim Landing through Anaheim to San Bernardino County Line 25 or 30 miles; from Newport Landing to junction with the main line about 12 miles. Total 152 miles. Said roads to be of three feet guage built and equipped in the best manner. As only a part of these roads will pay from the start it will be necessary to offer some inducement to secure their prompt construction. I would therefore suggest that the stock of the City and County in the L. A. & S. P. R. R. be donated and that this be supplemented to make our gift equal to two thousand dollars per mile on the proposed 152 miles. This stock will never be of any benefit to the City or County and I think this is the best use to make it, and the ad vantage to the County would be far greater than the amount of additional bonds. In making this proposition I wish to see if the people North of the San Gabriel are willing to act fairly with the people of this part of the county. If they are we will consider it as an evidence of good will never before exhibited and if they are not, the fact adds another to the many arguments in favor of "Seression" and we will at once proceed "to fire the Southern heart." It will be perceived that this proposition is honest! There is no "Cat in the Meal bag!" No Nigger in the fence," No Phineas Banning," No 80 mile road to the desert," No $5,000 per mile." No dredging Machine for the Wilmington hog wallow." Nothing but a fair, square and honest proposition, it is intended as a compromise, if we do this, subsidy hunting schemers won't have any foundation to stand on, our Rail Road will have been built, and until this is done we will have no peace and no security from the schemes of these secondrails. The Hon. B. D. Wilson gave his entire approval to this plan, and will sustain a petition for the purpose of furthering it. Yours truly Wm. R. Olden. The Star labors desperately to make it appear a good thing to give $650,000 ($875,000 is the correct figure) to the railroad people, and makes the proposerous calculation that the result would be a debt of only $650,000.

They have built an ante-room, which is plentifully furnished with shelves and books. They have also had a good shingle roof put on the whole building had it lined, ceiled and papered inside, and shutters put on the windows. Trees have been engaged to ornament the grounds.

The Star labors desperately to make it appear a good thing to give $650,000 ($875,000 is the correct figure) to the railroad people, and makes the propositional calculation that the result would be a debt of only $650,000 in twenty years, and that the city of Los Angeles would then have 250,000 people to pay it and "many hundred times its present value of taxable property." The advantage of the proposed roads are plausibly set forth for the city of Los Angeles. Now this is exactly the thing we object to; being taxed heavily to build improvements that are after all to benefit only the city and are of very little consequence to the county at large: certainly of no value to us of the southern part of the county to whom it makes no earthly difference whether railroads are ever built from Los Angeles to Owen's River or to the Monte. We should be no richer for the building of these roads, but we shall be a great useful poorer if we are obliged to help pay for them. We do not take into account the tub "Compton Branch Railroad," thrown out to the whale "Anaheim" to endeavor to gull us into swallowing their whole railroad scheme because that road even if built would be of very little, if any, consequence to us, and we regard this small bid for our support rather as an insult to our dignity.
