In pursuance to a call published in the Southern Californian last week, a large number of our citizens met in Clark’s reading room, last Monday evening, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for the Christmas Tree Festival to be held in the Masonic Hall. Mrs. Kate Parker being called to the chair, stated the object of the meeting, and the following committees were appointed: MUSIC COMMITTEE. Mrs A Higginas. Mrs P.C McKinnie. Miss Marquls. Mr A.J Brown. DECOoration COMMITTEE. T Canavon, P.C McKinnie, H Bancroft, Miss Chapin, Mrs Lewis, Mrs F Clark, Wm Sherwood. A.C Beebe. Mrs Parker. INVITATION COMMITTEE. Miss Eva Parker, Miss Harris, Miss M Casad, Mr Nichols, Ned Polhemus. FINANCE COMMITTEE. Miss A. Bremermann, Mrs F. Eldredge. Flowers. On Monday last, we were the recipients of a large and elegantly arranged Boquet, from the garden of Mrs Kate Parker, which now adorns the reportorial desk, and as we gaze upon the beautiful flowers and breath their delicious fragrance, it brings back to our memory the short but happy days, we passed in that far famed land of flowers, the Hawaiian Isles. A RETROSPECT. Closing our eyes under the influence of the aforesaid delicious fragrance, we give reign to our wanton fancy, and imagine ourselves once again lolling carelessly under the sheltung branches of a friendly Mango Tree, with that lacious fruit hanging in clusters around us, its myriad hued sides sparkling under the rays of the tropical sun, and dazzling the eye with the richness of its color, above us, the calm blue sky, with the white fleecy clouds sailing serenely along, the majestic firmament beneath and around us, flowers of every hue, of rare beauty, and exquisite fragrance, which mingling with the soft balmy air of a tropical afternoon, conduces to a languor and happiness only, dispelled by the ringing of the internal supper bell. But why pursue this retrospect further, why dispel the delicious dreams into which the reader must have fallen on reading the above sublime description of “Life in the Tropics,” why tell him of how we found it.

The meeting then adjourned to Thursday evening when the following Distributing Committee was appointed: Miss Eva Parker, Jno Bancroft. Katy Harris, Henry Kucbel. Jesse Parker, Miss C Tarver. Lydia Parker, Fritz Fischer. Miss Amelia Fischer. The committee of arrangements were notified to meet at the reading room on Saturday evening for consultation. The Decoration Committee will be at the Hall on Tuesday day until noon to receive presents, after which hour no articles will be received, as they expect to be busy all afternoon with the necessary decorations. We are requested to state that the Festival takes place on Tuesday evening, Christmas Eve, and not on Wednesday evening as is generally supposed. The "Trip across the continent" can only be had at Clark's. CITY LOTS FOR SALE. We would call attention to the advertisement of lots in Bremmerman's addition. Mr. Bremmermean has had subdivided and offers for sale, the tract of land adjoining Th. Reiser's vineyard. Each lot comprises two and one-half acres. The payments are to be made in monthly installments without interest. This is a mingling with the soft balmy air of a tropical afternoon, conduces to a languor and happiness only, dispelled by the ringing of the internal supper bell. But why pursue this retrospect further, why dispel the delicious dreams into which the reader must have fallen on reading the above sublime description of "Life in the Tropics," why tell him of how we found it impossible to live on mangoes and fragrance. Why tell him of our running head over heels in debt of our utter despair, when we found a law on the Hawaiian Statue Book prohibiting any one in debt to leave the islands, and of our intense delight on receiving a remittance. No, we will not tell what we have just related, but return once more to FLOWERS. As we were going to say, it would rather astonish our Eastern cousins to visit the garden of Mrs Parker, in this "bleak" month of December, and see who lovely and delicate flowers in full bloom. For their (E. C.) edification, we will give them the names of the flowers in the bouquet before us: Tube Rose, Pholxdrummandi, Stock Jelly Flowers (several varieties), Petunias (varegated), China Pinks, Double Dianthas, Verbenas, A sparagras, Canna, Migonnette, Chrisyantum, Cockscomb, Globe Amaranth, Japanese Myrtle, Double Red Geranium, Parsley, Marigolds, Sweet Pea and Straw Flower's. There now my Eastern friends what do you think of a climate where they have such flowers growing in the gardens in the month of December. Tom and Jerry at Pete's tonight. MASONIC ELECTION. At the regular meeting of Anaheim Lodge, No. 207. F & A M., held on Saturday Dec. 14., the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Theodore Reiser Worshipful Master, W H Wylie Senior Warden, Philip Davis Junior Warden, L M Goodman Treasurer, Richard Melrose CITY LOTS FOR SALE.—We would call attention to the advertisement of lots in Bremmerman's addition. Mr. Bremmerman has had subdivided and offers for sale, the tract of land adjoining Th. Reiser's vineyard. Each lot comprises two and one-half acres. The payments are to be made in monthly installments without interest. This is a step in the right direction, affording to every one an opportunity to purchase a homestead near the business part of the town on very easy terms. CHRISTMAS BEER.—We saw yesterday at the City Market a very fine beef, which Kirsch & Rust have been stall feeding for the last month. It will be killed for the Christmas Holidays. Every one who wishes an extra fine roast or porter-house steak, had best go early as the animal only weighs a thousand pounds, and it will hardly go around. NEW POST OFFICE.—A Post-office has been established at Tustin City, C Tustin Post-master. N T Harris will act as Deputy. The arrangement will take effect after the first day of January 1873. Copies of the "Southern Californian" in single wrappers for your friends in the East for 10 cents. SAILER.—The schooner Hettie Marlam, Capt. Nelson, sailed for San Francisco on Saturday with 2000 sacks of grain and 60 pipes of wine.

Wylie Senior Warden, Philip Davis Junior Warden, L M Goodman Treasurer, Richard Melrose Secretary. The new officers will be installed on the evening of St. Johns' day Dec. 27. Christmas presents of all kinds at Clark's. HOW IS THAT FOR HIGH—L Jander made from the produce of three grape vines five gallons of wine. At that rate twenty acres in vineyard will produce 32,000 gallons of wine. The frost injured the grape crop last spring, consequently the average yield was a "little bit" below those figures. It is rumored that in about a month Chas Lewis Smith of Anaheim Landing, will lead to the altar of Hymen, Miss Madelina Mogort of this place. Get your Christmas candies at Clark's. ACCIDENT—Mr. Allen, living at Nathan Sears' was kicked by a horse on Friday of last week, and had his leg badly fractured below the knee. He is attended by Dr. Hardin, The doctor thinks that he will be able to save the leg. If you want to make your husband, brother, or sweetheart a Christmas present, get a box of these fine cigars at Steinharts. We have 'em. PERSONAL.—J E Bacon, of San Juan was in town on Monday, preparing for Christmas. Col. J. J. Warner passed through Los Angeles. Messrs. Ingraham & Root, of Bristol, Conn., are in town. II Rosenbaum, of San Juan returned from Los Angeles yesterday. Mr. Tustin, of Tustin City, and Jno Carlin of the Union Mutual Life and Hartford Fire Insurance Co.'s honored our Sanctum with a flying visit. LAMD SALKS.—80 acres on the Bolsas to Nathan Searn. 80 acres on the Bolsas to Gilbert Lynch. 40 acres near Anaheim to Z. McChestney. 40 acres near Anaheim to John Azbil. 40 acres near Anaheim to E. McDowell. 40 acres in Fairview to J·M Gibson. If you want good fresh garden seeds, go to Steinhart for them. LARGE YIELD.—Mr. Herbert Wickham of Gospel Swamp, raised upon forty acres of land, over three thousand bushels of corn, without irrigation. Gospel Swamp is the settlement where you cannot see the ground for the pumpkins. NEW MUSIC.—We have received from M. Gray, 623 & 625 Clay st., San Francisco: "All among the Roses;" "Sweet Kathleen Magoe," by M. C. "L Maitre d'Ecole Alsacien," a patriotic song by Plavel. ENTERPRISE VS DULL TIMES.—Every body complains of the dullness of the times and the scarcity LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE [We would be much pleased to insert every week communications regarding subjects which are of general interest to our readers. Personal communications will be invariably rejected] Anaheim. The future Manufacturing Metropolis of Southern California. Now that the conflicting claims in regard to water rights, are in a fair way to an amicable adjustment, it is to be hoped that the people of Anaheim and vicinity, will take the initial steps towards developing one of the most fruitful resources of future prosperity, that our prolific country offers, a resource which if properly utilized will in time make Anaheim the chief manufacturing city of Southern California. Any one who has passed through the Canon of the Santa Ana, and has observed the large quantity of water in the river, at that point, even at its lowest stages; and has noticed with what a comparatively small outlay of capital this water could be taken out and utilized for manufacturing purposes cannot but be surprised that nothing has been done, and but little even said about a scheme fraught with so much importance to the community. We have sufficient water power here at our command to propel a system of manufactories that will at no distant day, make our town the Lowell of Southern California. It is estimated that a ditch twenty made into alcoholic spirit it seems to me, makes profit out of these producing the manufacture by sending the crude material. Such an could combine wine with its other business. On back to the growth of interest in the large outlaw crake, and at the begin business men of small go into the business they could sell their wine makers. No doubt attention would be painting, than there is no but a few of the entitlement might be engaged in when we make use of power at our command doubt, but that some scheme I have attached in this article, and less pronounce it chastianan, yet although gineer, machinist, nor believe it to be practiced will at no distant day be and when accomplished fits to us will be in hope to see it agitate brought to the noticeages the means of carry it out. We have enough remarks for the our climate. If our other resources to enrichate, then for some time we must remain a poor community. NEW MUSIC.—We have received from M. Gray, 623 & 625 Clay St., San Francisco. "All among the Roses;" "Sweet Kathleen Magoe," by M. C. "L Maitre d'Ecole Alsacien," a patriotic song by Plavel. ENTERPRISE vs DULL TIMES.—Every body complains of the dullness of the times and the scarcity of money. Heimann & George have the largest advertisement in the Southern Californian, consequently they have the most money, ergo, they do the largest business in Anaheim. They have just received a large new stock of goods expressly for the Christmas Holidays. Give them a call. New caps can be had at Steinhart. TRIUMPH DESK.—The Triumph desk which has taken the place of the old desks in the Anaheim Grammar School gives general satisfaction. Messrs. Broderick & Co., of Los Angeles are the agents for Southern California. A communication referring to the water question was received too late for publication. It will appear next week's issue. All communications should be written on one side of the manuscript only; and must not be anonymous. RECOVERING — Mr Tom Carty, who was so badly injured at Anaheim Landing a few weeks ago, is recovering rapidly. LETTERS—detained for Postage, at the Anaheim P. O. Wm Rogers, San Luis Rey, and J. J. Johnson, Santa Ana. DEEDS FILED IN RECORDER'S COURT.—O. H. Borden to J. M. Bush, 160 acres of land in the "Seriano" tract, for $1440. NEW ADVERTISMENTS.

We have sufficient water power here at our command to propel a system of manufactories that will at no distant day, make our town the Lowell of Southern California. It is estimated that a ditch twenty feet wide and two feet deep would take out but one sixth of the water in the river at its lowest stage. Increase the capacity of this ditch so that it will take one half or two thirds of the water in the river, cement or plank us sides and bottom, to prevent absorption of the water by the soil, cover it if necessary to retard evaporation carry it around upon the foot-hills to some convenient point where it can be best brought into the valley; with this immense volume of water, and the consequent fall obtained from carrying it upon the up land, the merest tyro in Hydraulics can see the vast water power it would Ford us. Of course this volume of water after being used for the propulsion of machinery, would be equally as available for irrigating as before. And now a word about the manufacturing interests we could build up. First in order and most needed are Woolen Mills. With the exception of the mill now being built at Los Angeles, and a small one on the Merced, near Suellings, there are to the best of my knowledge, no other woolen mills South of San Francisco. The immense wool clip of Southern California is nearly all shipped out of the country to be manufactured. This is certainly detrimental to our prosperity. If the manufacturer of Massachusetts or Rhode Island can ship our wool in bulk half around the world, and manufacture it in a country where the cost of living is greater in excess of what it is in ours and then make a profit of 20 to 30 per cent, it certainly looks reasonable that we, with nothing off for freight, commissions, insurance, &c., in a country where the cost of living can be made merely nominal with...

If the manufacturer of Massachusetts or Rhode Island can ship our woot in bulk half around the world, and manufacture it in a country where the cost of living is greater in excess of what it is in ours and then make a profit of 20 to 30 per cent, it certainly looks reasonable that we, with nothing off for freight, commissions, insurance, &c., in a country where the cost of living can be made merely nominal, with mill privileges equally as good, if not so extensive as those of Lowell or Lawrence, I repeat with all these advantages in our favor, it certainly seems as though we ought to be able to compete with Eastern manufacturers, in the working up of our raw material, and with so much in our favor, it seems too, as though there ought to be profit enough in such a business, to satisfy a cent per cent Californian. Another branch of manufacturing industry which could be made profitable, would be the making of agricultural implements. The whole state is dependent upon Eastern manu factories for its agricultural machinery and tools. We ought to make our own. It is a well known fact that no capital pays so large a per cent as that invested in manufacturing. There is abundance of capital in the East seeking an investment. It behooves us to let capitalists know the advantages our country affords for profitable investments. Yet another business that would pay well, would be distilling upon a large scale.
