ANAHEIM GAZETTE. CHAS. A. GAEPNER; ... Ed'r & Prop'r. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1871. Notice. J C Hill Jr. is hereby authorized to receive subscriptions for the Gazette. A False Report. The San Francisco Bulletin has been badly boxed in its "special" report of the R.R. Convention. To correct its errors we republish these facts. The convention was held at Anaheim and not at Los Angeles. It was not decided by a majority of the lawful delegates in that body to petition for railroad subsidy, &c. That resolution was passed by a minority of the genuine delegates, assisted by 14 illegal votes which had no right to be counted, 14 interloping carpet baggers, who perpetrated themselves—a most shameless fraud—upon the genuine portion of the convention. Twelve delegates left the convention in disgust, viz., those from Anaheim, Silver Precinct, Santa Ana and San Joaquin. They saw that the whole thing had been previously "cut and dried" by the railroad people, and they declined to assist longer at what had become a more farce. Meeting of the Lighter Co. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Lighter Co. was held on Monday last 4th last at the office of Justice Davis. President Schneider in the chair and F. A. Korn Secy. 164 shares of issued stock were represented besides the 31 shares held by the Co; 195 altogether or all of the stock except 5 shares. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The Meeting of the Lighter Co. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Lighter Co. was held on Monday last 4th inst at the office of Justice Davis. President Schneider in the chair and F. A. Korn Secy. 164 shares of issued stock were represented besides the 31 shares held by the Co; 195 altogether or all of the stock except 5 shares. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The Trustees Annual Report to the stockholders was then presented. It shows that the financial condition of the Co. has very much improved, all the difficulties in which it had been involved having been amicably settled. The business of the Co has steadily increased over that of last year, notwithstanding the two great drawbacks of losing nearly all of the San Bernardino trade, which came to the Landing in 1870, and another year of drought and grasshoppers. Following figures show the business for this year and last, and also shows what we have to export. Total receipts for lighterage yr. end'g Nov. 30th 1870, $18,900,77. Total receipts for lighterage yr. end'g Nov. 30th, 1871, $20,269,28. Gain of business over last year, $1,358 51. Exports year ending Nov. 30th, 1870. 2,466 bales wool; 11,769 sks. grail; 29 sks. potatoes; 68 sks. onions; 47 sks. peaches; 225 sks. ore; 1,369 pipes; 63 puncheons, 70 bbls, and 43 kegs wine; 30 pipes and 5 bbls. brandy; 10 bbls. shark oil; 63 boxes honey; 438 bales hay; 1,848 hides. Exports year ending Nov. 30th 1871. 1,788 bales wool; 13,894 sks. corn; 1,432 skyscrape; 261 sks. barley; 78 sks. peaches. 2,175 pipes, 78 bbls and 25 kegs wine and brandy: 779 bales hay; 1,361 hides; 950 sks. beans; 263 sks. mustard seed; 75 sks. flax seed; 98 sks. pea nuts; 98 sks. castor beans; 1,121 sks. ground feed; 81 bales sheep skin; 51 boxes egg; 379 pkgs mdee. The export of wool decreased because, owing to the drouth, sheep were driven off to other counties. Inward freight year ending Nov. 30th 1870. 2,606 tons mdee and 2,157,000 ft lumber. Inward freight year ending Nov. 30th 1871. 2681 tons mdee and 2,423,938 ft lumber, besides which at least 1,000,000 ft lumber is estimated to have been received at the landing and rafted in. An election of Trustees for the ensuing year was next bad, resulting in the re-election of the old board, consisting of Messrs. F. A. Korn, F. Schnelder, John P. Zayn. Max Strobel and C. Lorenz. Our thanks are due to Mr. F. A. Korn Secretary of the meeting, to whose courtesy we are indebted for the foregoing report.

A very fine affair will be the grand ball this evening at the Planter's Hotel. Mr. Fischer has made extensive arrangements for the accommodation and enjoyment of all. Aid to the Fire Co. At the Nov. meeting of the Anaheim Fire Co. a committee consisting of John Fischer, Fred Langenberger, and Richard Melrose was appointed to draft a petition to the County Board of Supervisor asking an appropriation from the county in aid of the Anaheim Fire Department. The committee presented a petition and their efforts have been rewarded by an appropriation of $300 which was granted on Wednesday 6th inst. The committee deserve the thanks of the community for the able manner in which they discharged their duty, and the Board of Supervisors will also be kindly remembered for their prompt response. An appropriation of $2000 was also made at the time for the Los Angeles city Fire Dept. Freight—Fifty-five tons of freight were discharged at the Anaheim Landing by str. California. Correspondence. Anabeim, Dec. 6th, 1871. Editor Gazette. In your last issue I suggested the construction of a system of county railroad that would equally benefit all the inhabited and habitable portions of the county. If this plan was carried out, the assistance we would be required to give would not increase our present debt more than $100,000, and the fact that our roads were already constructed would effectually bar all future attempts to rob us of exorbitant subsidies at the time I made the suggestion, I did not the slightest idea that it would receive any support or approval from those parties who so ardently advocate railroads at any price! For this simple and sufficient reason; there is no money in it! While the compensation would be a sufficient inducement to build there would be nothing to spare for paying votes, or paying advocates. It, I vote was taken upon it, the result would be a fair expression of the wishes people. It is well known that I am opposed to subsidies in any shape, but it is well known that those who advocate them and who intend to exact them from us are organized active and powerful. We have the combined wealth and power of the Central Pacific Railroad Co. against us. They are determined to make us pay, and unless we make a concession and anticipate, and head off their movement, in this way, they will be sure to succeed in the end. Their defect in one instance does not discourage them; it shows them who to grow, &c. &c. In fact we want reliable information on all subjects, appertaining to crops in this vicinity, and if you can induce some one of the old settlers to write a few articles on agriculture and the best way to obtain crops of corn, vines, and trees, in the vicinity of Anabeim or as I hope soon to designate it Anabeim County, you will confer a favor on all your patrons in New Westminster. Yours truly, C. H. SIRZURE.—The store of Louis Mendelson at San Rafael Lower California, has been seized by the authorities for an alleged refusal to pay duties on goods. FIREMENS Monthly Meeting.—At a regular monthly meeting of the Anabeim Fire Company held at their office in Enterprise Hall Dec. 4th, 1871, the meeting was called to order by the president S. J. Davis. Roll called, 19 members absent. Proceedings of last regular meeting read and approved. The committee of arrangements for the ball made their report, which report was received and committee discharged Committee appointed to petition the Board of Supervisors, made a written report which was placed on file and Committee discharged On motion of A. W. Steinhart a resolution was passed and unanimously adopted empowering the Sec. to collect all fines and back dues of all members in arrears. Bill of E. N. Champlin balance due for erecting bell tower amounting to $35 ordered paid. On motion of F. Schneider it was resolved to amend the constitution and by-laws at the next regular meeting allowing all active members the same privilege of holding offices on the first grade as the passive members; also to exempt the passive members from paying more dues than the active members. This being the last monthly meeting of the company the next business meeting off. are organized active and powerful. We have the combined wealth and power of the Central Pacific Railroad Co. against us. They are determined to make us pay, and unless we make a concession and anticipate, and head off their movement, in this way, they will be sure to succeed in the end. Their defect in one instance does not discourage them; it shows them who their active opponents are: when they make their next attempt; they will take measures to silence the parties whoought and defeated them before. Money is very powerful and every man is said to have his price; and it is well for the people to recollect that when a subsidy is demanded the expense of obtaining it, is always calculated in advance and added to the amount. The taxpayer has the whole bill to pay in the end. Until this county has her Rail Roads we will have no peace. The adoption of this plan would give us security. But I do not believe that so fair a proposition as mine would suit the Rail Road men on the north side of the San Gabriel. They are ready enough to build roads for themselves and are perfectly willing for us to pay for them, but will decidedly object to doing the same for our benefit. Therefore we are left defendent on our last recourse and that is to divide the county. South of the San Gabriel it is believed that there are not more than two hundred purchasable votes. Almost every voter is a property holder. Once divided we would be safe from these subsidy hunters. We could calculate that certainly eight tenths of our vote would be against them; but we may be assured that if we continue to be a part of Los Angeles county and remain without railroads they will capture us in the end.

New Westminster Dec. 4th 1871 Editor Anaheim Gazette. Dear Sir. In writing about this colony or settlement I find myself at a loss how to begin. We are all or nearly all strangers to the soil, climate, and productions of this section of country, in fact we have it all to learn from the hardest of masters, experience. Upon conversing with my neighbors I find that a great variety of opinions obtain as to what kind of seed to plant and when to plant it; also which kind of soil is the most productive, whether we can obtain artesian water, and if so how deep we will have to go; and a variety of subjects are presented, discussed, and dropped without anyone giving or receiving much information. This much I can give you as facts about forty individuals have been so favourably impressed with the colony that they have purchased land amounting in the aggregate to between three and four thousand acres, and about twenty houses have been erected. Most of us are anxiously awaiting the rain, and when it comes, if once it does, much work will be done, and I hope a faithful record will be kept by all of the time and manner of plowing and seeding, also of the result, so that in the future we will not be so void of knowledge, and will be able to give new comers the fruits of our experience. One thing we all desire to know, and that is all about altalia. How and when to plant, the kind of soil necessary, the manner of treating it after it has begun JOHN W.
