Southern California SATURDAY...JULY 20,1873 CORRECT. The San Francisco Call, speaking of Stanford's proposition to this county on the railroad question, and the determination of the Committee of Thirty to hold a personal interview with the officers of the Central Pacific Railroad Co., before accepting their terms, says: "The Committee is a much more tractable body than we suspected. A proposition such as has been made to them—that they shall give away $750,000, or thereabout, without owning so much as a single share in the road, or having the least voice in its management—is, to say the least, a little "binding" on the people of Los Angeles county. If they accept it, they will exhibit a generosity unparalleled in the history of these times of financial responsibility." We don't think, friend Call, that this county is going to make any such an ass of itself as to accept that proposition. We are certain of at least a portion of the Committee, who have no such love for Stanford as to make him a free gift of their homes and themselves, body and soul, in consideration of some indefinite promises on his part—promises which he might fulfill in the same manner that he pays his taxes; at the end of a lawsuit. And as to the little matter of the county's interest in the Los Angeles & S. P. R. R., if it is designed to make a present of that to any company. A NEW COMPANY. A new railroad company called the "San Francisco and Colorado River Railway Company" has just been organized, as will be seen by the following Articles of Association: Articles of Association of the San Francisco and Colorado River Railway Company. WHEREAS, The undermined are desirous of being formed into a corporation for the purpose of constructing, owning and maintaining a railway between the bay of San Francisco, on or in the harbor of San Francisco, at the city and county thereof, and at or near the thirty-fifth and thirty-second parallels on latitude on the Colorado River, in the counties of San Bernardino and San Diego, passing through or entering into the counties of the city and county of San Francisco, San Mateo Sta Clara, Monterey, San Luis Obispo Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego, State of California, and for buying, holding owning, leasing or taking by gift, or otherwise, all property necessary or proper for the use in constructing maintaining, or operating said railway, and are subscribers to the stock of such contemplated railway. AND WHEREAS, Stock to the amount of one thousand dollars for each and every mile of said proposed railway has been subscribed by us and ten per cent in cash of the amount so subscribed, has been actually and in good faith paid to William C. Kalston, a treasurer named and appointed by sail subscribers from among our number. AND WHEREAS, Said subscriber have received five day's notice from said Treasurer, of a meeting of sail subscribers, for the purpose. Now therefore said subscriber ford as to make him a free gift of their homes and themselves, body and soul, in consideration of some indefinite promises on his part—promises which he might fulfill in the same manner that he pays his taxes; at the end of a lawsuit. And as to the little matter of the county's interest in the Los Angeles & S. P. R. R., if it is designed to make a present of that to any company, we should much prefer that it be given to the sound little corporation which lives with us, does its business with us, spends its money with us, enriches the county with its business, and is our friend and neighbor right here at home, the gallant little Los Angeles & San Pedro R. R. Co. itself. We would not be understood as advocating the giving of this stock away to anybody, but express the above preference in favor of home institutions, in case such a proposition should come to serious consideration. There is one man in the Committee we particularly desire to bet on. Wm. R. Olden Esq., of Anaheim, our respected fellow townman, who is too sturdy a friend of his fellow citizens ever to surrender one jot or tittle of the county's interest or support, without the fairest equivalent therefor. ANOTHER "JOKE." In its issue of the 18th inst., the Star perpetrates another of its characteristic "jokes" in the following item: "The citizens of Anaheim are shipping largely by the port of Wilmington up the coast." The above is untrue. No shipment is made from Anaheim via Wilmington. We have a nearer and cheaper landing of our own. Deeds Filed. Jno. Richmond et ux to Vincente Yorba, a lot of land in Los Angeles county, with the crops, etc., on it for $10? W. J. Vassar to J. N. Vassar, twenty acres of the Los Coyotes Rancho known as the Boxley Tract, each and every mile of said proposed railway has been subscribed by us and ten per cent in cash of the amount so subscribed, has been actually and in good faith paid to William C. Ralston, a treasurer named and appointed by said subscribers from among our number. AND WHEREAS, Said subscriber have received five day's notice from said Treasurer, of a meeting of said subscribers, for the purpose. Now, therefore, said subscriber at such meeting so called, do adopt hereby the following articles of association: First—The name of said corporation shall be the San Francisco and Colorado River Railway Company. Second—The same shall continue in existence for the period of fifty years. Third—The amount of capital stock of said company shall be fifty millions of dollars (which is the actual contemplated cost of constructing said railway, together with the cost of right of way, motive power and every other appurtenance and thing for the completion and running of said railroad), to be divided into five hundred thousand shares of one hundred dollars each. The number of Directors shall be eleven who shall manage the affairs of said company, and the names of the Directors who shall hold office under others are elected, as shall be provided by the by-laws of said company, are John Parrott, Peter Donahue, Henry M. Newhall, W. T. Coleman, Michael Reese, William Ralston, J. Mora Moss, John Earl, Henry D. Bacon, A. Gan George H. Howard, Josiah Belden. Fourth—The place from which the proposed Railway is to be constructed is the harbor of the city and county of San Francisco (at near the China and Central Basin in the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, to or near the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-second parallels of latitude on the Colorado river, in the counties of San Bernadino and San Diego. The counties into and through which the said proposed railway shall pass are the city and county of San Francisco, San Mateo, San Clara, Monterey, San Luis Obispo Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, S Bernardino and San Diego. The length of said railway about nine hundred miles. THE SPIRITUALIST CONVENTION. Wilmington. We have a nearer and cheaper landing of our own. Deeds Filed. Jno. Richmond et ux to Vincente Yorba, a lot of land in Los Angeles county, with the crops, etc., on it for $10? W. J. Vassar to J. N.

Vassar, twenty acres of the Coyotes Rancho, for $300. Personal—For no less a personage than Capt. Beane, of the Los Angeles News, would we have taken the trouble to unlock this form, and announce that that gentleman came in late last evening and is spending the day in town. All the property of the Staten Island Railroad and Ferry Company is to be sold August 25th, to satisfy the claims of the sufferers of the Westfield Ferry explosion calamity. COMPANY. A local post contributes the following. We don't believe all of it, nor endorse the sentiment in facts, but it is all just a partially correct view of humanity: PRICE MARKS. When I was but a was hit of a boy, And lived at the edge of the woods. The village store was my greatest joy, To study the marks on the goods. Sometimes it would be quite a pencil to find, The mark on some articles true, But on searching it ever extensively round A "Price mark" would burst into view. The articles all had a value of course, And the poorest had labels most flash, But every one was in the market you know. If you'd only come down with the cash When I grew up a man, and went "into the world." I found it the same as the store, I find men and women all marked with their price, They're for sale as the goods were before. From the Governor down to the clerk of the town, Staid judges and ministers—all Have a price upon them tho the mark's not in sight, And they may not "come round" at first call, But name the right figure—and see if 'taint true— (The some may indignantly flash), 'Tis only put on—they are yours, you will find, If you'd only come down with the cash. "It's a sad state of things," some old fogies may say, And the "good days of old" they bewail, When statesmen and judges were "true as the steel," 'Gainst whose honor no price could prevail,' They tell us our forefathers ne'er were the set. PERSONAL. Last Sunday we had the pleasure of welcoming back Ben Dryas Esq., of the old and well known firm of Langenberger & Co., who returns to Anaheim after several months absence in the Northern Counties, and Atlantic States. Mr. D. is looking well, and expresses himself as highly pleased to get back to this pleasant town once more, and note the many substantial improvements made during his absence. Max. Strobel Esq., departed for San Francisco on Wednesday, alter only a short stay here, since his last visit to the Bay City. The Maj has our best wishes and a hope that his ventures may prove to him like the touch of Midas, coining all things into gold. W. W. Jenkins Esq., of Los Nietos, accompanied by his lady and sister-in-law, Miss Dalton, of Los Angeles, paid Anaheim a visit yesterday, and graced our sanctum for a short time with his presence. Mr. Henry Bremermann, of the Anaheim Hotel, returned from the Springs yesterday looking well, and was warmly greeted by his many friends. H. C. Austin Esq., of the Los Angeles Express, paid a short visit, with his family, to Anaheim this week, and favored us with a call. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS: STORE TO LET! (Some may indignantly flash). 'Tis only put on—they are yours, you will find, If you'd only come down with the cash. "It's a sad state of things," some old fogies may say, And the "good days of old" they bewail, When statesmen and judges were "true as the steel." 'Gainst whose honor no price could prevail.' They tell us our forefathers ne'er were the set, Whose honesty ever was bought— But to me it is plain that the difference is "Our forefathers never were caught." Just search for a price mark, no matter how high, For the package that's labelled most "flash." Is for sale at a price one would scarcely believe If you'd only come down with the cash. MISS ANTHROP. Improvements We note many nice little things being done, as we travel around, to make the town and country look prettier, and more like a permanent home. Mr. A. Metcalf has just commenced the erection of a fine large dwelling on his land, south of the Coyote House. We do not know the dimensions, but judging from the frame, it is by far the most imposing looking structure outside the city limits. J. W. Brooks is the builder. Mr. B. H. Bancroft has a residence in process of completion about 3 miles northwest of town. Dimock & Brown are the builders. The main building is 28x34 feet, with a kitchen 14x20. It will cost about $2,000. Peter Richards has had the willows cut away and a good fence built around his lots recently purchased on Los Angeles street, in the Heimann & George tract. P. C. McKinnie and S. A. Hawkins are at work on the Westminster school house, heretofore more particularly described by us. Messrs Dimock & Brown have added a neat piazza to the residence of Mr C. Luedke, near the City Hall. Messrs Hille & Menzel are building an elegant summer house, which is more fully noticed elsewhere. and was warmly greeted by his many friends. H. C.

A Summer House.—With a taste for the beautiful which is creditable to themselves and useful to the public, Messrs Hille & Menzel, of the City Bakery, are ornamenting their premises on Center street with an elegant summer house which is being built in the form of a cross, and covered with fancifully built arches (the handwork of Messrs Backs Bros.) over which the grape vines shall run and make all cool and shady within. The extreme length and breath from point to point is 55x40 feet, while the arbors within are 18 feet wide, and will have abundant room for tables, benches, etc. This will make a beautiful and pleasant summer resort, and doubtless will soon grow into such favor with the public as will ensure a speedy return of the money expended in its construction. Ripe Grapes.—Mr. Robt. Menzel informs us that grapes on a few vines in Mr. Errington's vineyard were ripe as early as last Tuesday.. They are of the white German variety.
