M., will be held this evening. The wool-growers' convention met for final organization in Los Angeles on Thursday. The steamers "Taber," "Constantine" and "Kalorama" were at We had a very pleasant call from Prof. F. S. Buckman, Superintendent of Public Schools of Ventura county. He has promised to send us on his return home, his views on our county, its climate, soil and people. "Whom the Lord loveth, be chasteneth." Carrying out the same principle, Higbie, a representative from the largest wine and brandy producing county in the State, is the parent and advocate of temperance reforms. Our friend "Chaillie" prospers and grows fat, notwithstanding his constant work, both day and night. As he wants to see Holcombe valley however, he has placed for a few days a substitute on the route between here and Los Angeles. The constables and deputy Sheriffs of Anaheim made a descent upon the "Heathen Chince" Thursday night, and arrested six childlike and bland celestials for indulging in the 'evingly game of' supposed to be Chinese for Faro. Vasquez and his gang, numbering twenty men, have been seen in camp four miles from Fort Tejon. Sheriff Coons of Kern county, with a well armed posse has gone in pursuit of them.

It is feared that they contemplate a raid upon some point not remote from their camps. —Halberstadt & Co. have their steam engine and lumber-saw in full operation at the Landing. —The regular meeting of Anaheim Lodge, No 207, F. and A.

If you do, Clark & Austin have some forty dozen very pretty ones; gay, sober, rapturous, solemn, very true, and very lying stupid ones, and witty ones; on gilt edged paper, blue perhaps, or pink, and mostly done in fancy-colored ink. —That unrelenting fee of childhood—scarlet fever—has made sad havoc in the family of Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, of Los Nietos. Their two bright, lovely children have been rudely snatched from them, within the brief space of ten days. We hear many expressions of sympathy from their numerous acquaintances in Anaheim. —the opposition to the regular line of coast steamers has not been a brilliant success. Everyone remembers what use was made of the agreement made and signed between the "Taber" and the merchants of Los Angeles a couple of years ago, and do not propose to lend a helping hand to another "blackmail" scheme. —At the school election held last week in Orange school district, it was decided to construct an addition to the present building. The new structure will be similar in appearance and size to the old one. It is the intention to erect during the coming Fall, a third building to which the two present ones will constitute wings. —the following is the list of letters uncalled for and remaining in the Anaheim Postoffice, January 30: R Aguilar, W Axtel, M C Baker, J W Cook, Dr. Campbell, J S Colima, C C Crosby, C L Dodge, T Ferguson R Gordon, Mrs M Gates, A Getchell, A P Herrick, Mrs H Harris, J L Mellus, J R Mason S Mesquito, order to select the for the future seminary Los Angeles and Riverside and visited and criticized at none of these found so many men as existed, though state, in the vicinity The location upon man looked most not be irrigated water ditches station, but uprance of the L Company, that structuring a large purchase was made 1872, Mr. Gilma position of President company, and was immed Superintendent the following yeactive operation pany's purchase going on, thereof months,and not unfavorable season notwithstanding ses of the Los A company,the result labor has not been tory There are ing upon the orange and limestone old.The gated by means of force pumps cable to obtain v purposes from the The Company plan and have now imject to order,swee lemon and lime old.Of this new will,during the out two thousand for so doing having As we understand Company are with their local progress that has existing circum- lieve that they in the best place California,a secr present time,having overshadowing it and San Bernadian pany;a section Through the courtesy of Wm.R.

The "Little Mac" troupe of minstrels would combine much profit with pleasure in a professional visit to this place. Anaheimers love to laugh, and do not object to pay for a good one. Cohen possesses a heart, too tender to take advantage of the absence of an opposition to enhance the prices of his meat. See a card from him upon the subject in column of "new ads." Mrs. Metz has rented from Knapke and Schmidt a portion of her vineyard, leased to them, for the purpose of planting orange trees thereon.

Los Angeles county has more than one reason to be proud of its delegation at Sacramento. Side by side with Higbie, the apostle of Temperance, sits Venable, who deems it wise to construct throughout the southern country navigable canals. If Bush would only father a "concurrent resolution" instructing the Lord about our future water supply, and telling him how much we needed it even when we drank wine and journeyed on dry land, the measure of our pride would be full to overflowing. THE SEMI-TROPICAL FRUIT COMPANY. It is early History—The Punic Faith of the Los Angeles Land Company—The Result of the First Year's Labor. On the twentieth day of July 1872, a project, which for quite a while before had been contemplated by a number of gentlemen, residents of Healdsburg, Sonoma county, was practically carried into effect by the organization of a Stock Company. The object of the organization was to raise semi-tropical fruits, and the fundamental principles upon which the members of the association relied for success, were unity and cooperation. The name of the association was the "Southern California Semi-Tropical Fruit Company," and its first presiding officer was R. H. Gilman, now in charge of the company farm, lying three miles north of Anaheim. As soon as Mr. Gilman was chosen to conduct the management of the Company's affairs, he set forth during the Fall of 1872 on a tour of investigation through the southern country in order to select the most eligible site for the future semi-tropical orchard. Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, Riverside and San Diego were visited and critically examined, but at none of these places were there found so many natural advantages as existed, though in a dormant state, in the vicinity of Anaheim. The location upon which Mr. Gilman looked most favorably, could not be irrigated from the Resolutions. The following presumble and resolutions were adopted by Anaheim Lodge No. 199 I.O.O.F., at the meeting held on Tuesday, January 27th: To the officers and members of Anaheim Lodge, No. 199, I.O.O.F: Your Committee, appointed to draft resolutions, expressive of our sympathy and regard for our late sister, Julia Fischer, wife of our respected and beloved brother, P. G. John Fischer, do respectfully report as follows: Whereas, It has pleased our Lord the Grand Master of the Universe, to take from our midst our beloved and esteemed sister and friend, Julia Fischer, be it therefore Resolved, That whilst we bow in humble submission to this decree of divine providence, we do most sincerely regret and deplore the loss we have had to suffer of one we so highly esteemed and who was bound to us by the sacred ties of F. L. and T. Resolved, That we tender to the family of our departed sister our fullest sympathy in their affliction. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this Lodge, and that a copy thereof be sent to brother P. G. John Fischer, and that they be published in the Southern Californian. E. W.

SPECIAL NOTICES order to select the most eligible site for the future semi-tropical orchard. Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, Riverside and San Diego were visited and critically examined, but at none of these places were there found so many natural advantages as existed, though in a dormant state, in the vicinity of Anaheim. The location upon which Mr. Gilman looked most favorably, could not be irrigated from the water ditches then in operation, but upon the assurance of the Los Angeles Land Company, that they intended constructing a large canal at once, a purchase was made. In December, 1872, Mr. Gilman resigned the position of President of the Company, and was immediately appointed Superintendent. In January of the following year he commenced active operations upon the Company's purchase. Work has been going on, therefore, about thirteen months, and notwithstanding the unfavorable seasons of last year, notwithstanding the broken promises of the Los Angeles Land Company, the result of the first year's labor has not been at all unsatisfactory. There are set out and growing upon the farm six hundred orange and lime trees, now four years old. These trees were irrigated by means of an elevated tank and force pumps, it being impracticable to obtain water for irrigating purposes from the Santa Ana river. The Company purchased last year, and have now in Los Angeles, subject to order, seven thousand orange, lemon and lime trees, three years old. Of this number, Mr. Gilman will, during the coming month, set out two thousand, his preparations for so doing having been completed. As we understand from him, his Company are perfectly satisfied with their location, and with the progress that has been made under existing circumstances. They believe that they have secured land in the best portion of Southern California, a section which, at the present time, has only one incubus overshadowing it—the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company; a section which will have no Resolved, That we tender to the family of our departed sister our fullest sympathy in their affliction. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this Lodge, and that a copy thereof be sent to brother P. G. John Fischer, and that they be published in the SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN. E. W. CHAMPLIN, JOHN P. ZEYN, RICHARD HEIMANN. A NEW INDUSTRY. — We have from time to time noted the fact, that the people of Westminster were extensively engaged in hog-culture, a business for which a large tract of land near that colony was peculiarly adapted. So profitable has this pursuit been found, that it has been decided to build, next season, a large factory, after the most approved model, for the curing of hams. The hams will be covered with canvass, neatly labeled, and externally, will present an appearance similar to the famous sugar-cured hams of Cincinnati, while there is no reason why they will not be equally as good. INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS. — M. B. Craig, Master of Westminster Grange, installed the officers elect of Fairview Grange on Wednesday evening. The following are their names: Edward Evey, Master; B F E. Kellogg, Overseer; David Evey, Lecturer. Rev. C. Gridley, Chaplain; D W. C. Cowan, Treas; D E. Miles, Secretary; George A. Greeley, Steward; Byron Clark Ass't Steward; H. C. Kellogg, Gatekeeper; Miss M. E. Austin, Ceres; Miss F. Evey, Pomona; Miss M. O. Kellogg, Flora; Miss M. J. Boswell, Stewardess. At the conclusion of the ceremonies, a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Craig by the Grange. For SANTA ANA—Several of the most prominent citizens of this county, Messrs. N. Palmer, H. Ropey, J. Seaver, and E. Cole, have purchased a large tract of land at Santa Ana, Los Angeles county,and on Thursday started thither with their families. Mr. R. E. Hewitt, principal of the Santa Clara school, will join them as soon as his present engagement expires. They go As we understand from him, his Company are perfectly satisfied with their location, and with the progress that has been made under existing circumstances. They believe that they have secured land in the best portion of Southern California, a section which, at the present time, has only one incubus overshadowing it—the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company; a section which will have no superior on the Pacific Coast, when the waters of the Santa Ana river have been properly utilized. Committed to Jail.—It may be remembered that on last Christmas night, a room in the rear of Enterprise saloon was entered, and a bundle of clothes belonging to L. E. Smith stolen therefrom. On Tuesday last Mr. Smith recognized an overshirt, worn by one Velasquez, as one of the missing articles. Velasquez was arrested, and turning State's evidence, named his friend and paisano Sebastian Ramirez as the guilty party. The evidence was that Ramirez stole the clothes, whilst "Santa Claus" was distributing his gifts upstairs, and that, as there was more in the bundle than he cared for, he had bestowed the surplus upon a small, though select circle of admiring friends, among whom Velasquez, the recreant wearer and receiver of the shirt, bore no unmistigued name. The prisoner Ramirez, was committed by Justice Bailey to appear before the Grand Jury to answer to a charge of burglary, and in default of five hundred dollars bail, was sent to the county jail. For Santa Ana.—Several of the most prominent citizens of this county, Messrs. N. Palmer, H. Rope, J. Seaver, and E. Cole, have purchased a large tract of land at Santa Ana, Los Angeles county, and on Thursday started thither with their families. Mr. R. E. Hewitt, principal of the Santa Clara school, will join them as soon as his present engagement expires. They go thither to engage in farming. The land they have purchased, 1,800 acres, is one of the choice tracts of Southern California, and we are sure that these gentlemen, with their intelligence and industry, will make a success of their enterprise. California Granger. The Concert.—Do not forget that to-night the young lady pupils of Signora Catalano tender her a complimentary benefit. We hope that a crowded house may make glad the heart of this most deserving lady, and show to her that her talents are fully appreciated by our town folk. A Visit.—Signor Catalano contemplates a short visit to San Francisco by the next steamer. Special Notice.—I would respectfully inform the citizens of Anaheim and vicinity that I will only remain two weeks more. Don't neglect to have the loved ones photographed. You know not how soon death may call them hence Now is the time to get good pictures right at home at a small cost. Respectfully, A. S. Addia. FISCHER.—January 26th.
