Southern California SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1874. Kleinigkeiten. Ye farmer smileth. This is St. Valentine's day. Who will give a picnic on Washington's birthday? The next meeting of the Fairview Grange will be to-day week. The fall of rain up to four o'clock yesterday afternoon was 2½ inches. The probate of the will of the late August Schenk has been set for February 23d. Delinquent tax-payers must pay their taxes by the 28th or their property will be sold. Mr. Martin Classen has bought the interest of Otto Evers in the hotel at Anaheim Landing. Judge Willis, County Judge of San Bernardino County, arrived in town on Tuesday evening. Stock raisers are now sure of sufficient grass for their flocks and herds. There will be a special meeting of the Anaheim Lodge of F. & A. M. this evening. A full attendance is desired. The stage for San Juan Capistrano failed to cross the Santa Ana on Wednesday evening on account of high water. Tiffany, of the Los Angeles Express, has gone to San Francisco to purchase a power press, and the proprietor of the Star gives notice of his intention to enlarge his paper. We are glad of these evidences of success, and hope that the future will be as fraught with prosperity as the past. In our last issue we erroneously stated that the wool growers' convention would meet in Los Angeles on March 1st. Our attention has been called to the error by E. M. Ross, Esq., the Secretary of the association, who desires us to state that the meeting will be held on March 7th. A fond mother was electrified the other day, by her hopeful son asking her why his paternal ancestor was an "old fool." The answer to this conundrum evidenced a wisdom far beyond his years, and gave convincing proof of a future greatness. It was because his doting father didn't subscribe for the Californian. A resident of Anaheim Landing, whilst hunting along Coyote creek in the early part of the week, found a human skull in almost perfect preservation. It is supposed to be that of one John Ryan, who started from the Landing to Los Nietos about eighteen months ago in charge of a team and was never heard from afterwards. There seemed to have been much difference of opinion in re- Stock raisers are now sure of sufficient grass for their flocks and herds. There will be a special meeting of the Anaheim Lodge of F. & A. M. this evening. A full attendance is desired. The stage for San Juan Capistrano failed to cross the Santa Ana on Wednesday evening on account of high water. The sailing of the steamer Pacific has been postponed until Monday. See advertisement to that effect. Gov. Booth has approved the bill, authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Santa Ana river. The members of Fairview School District will hold their election this afternoon at the District School house. Clark & Austin have received from Beloit, Wisconsin, a sample case of shoes. They invite every one to call and inspect them. The steamship Senator will sail from San Pedro on next Thursday, taking the passengers of the Mohongo, advertised to leave on Wednesday. At a meeting of the Fairview Grange, held last Saturday, Messrs. Wm. R. Olden, J. D. Taylor and J. B. Stone were elected Trustees for the ensuing year. Shareholders in the Anaheim Water Company are requested to pungle down fifty cents for each acre they have the misfortune to possess. Mr. Seeloy, of Seeley & Wright, came in on Wednesday with an extra stage from San Diego, loaded with tourists. Seeley brings them through, rain or shine. Quite a number of deeds have been placed on record in the Clerk's office during the past week for land, both here and in Richland. Want of space has compelled their omission in the present issue. On Wednesday, the Santa Ana river made its appearance in the old channel, north west of Anaheim, which was cut out during the flood of 1862. This has not happened A resident of Anaheim Landing, whilst hunting along Coyote creek in the early part of the week, found a human skull in almost perfect preservation. It is supposed to be that of one John Ryan, who started from the Landing to Los Nietos about eighteen months ago in charge of a team and was never heard from afterwards. There seemed to have been much difference of opinion in regard to the practicability of establishing a Grange store at Los Angeles during the session of the District Council, held at Gallatin on last Monday. The Granges of this section, judging from the report presented to the Fruitland Grange, do not approve of the idea. Our devil is an enterprising youth and whilst improving his mind yesterday by reading "proof" came across that conundrum, purporting to originate with a "hopeful son." He says that the item in question and the reporter of the California are like Ike Partington and his wind mill. He made it all out of his own head and has stuff enough left to make another. The runaway, which occurred on Los Angeles street yesterday afternoon, had at one time the appearance of resulting quite seriously but owing undoubtedly to the preserving care of the little cherubs, who sits up aloft and watches over sailors and men who whilom walk like sailors in a storm, the result was only an overturned buggy and a mud-bespattered man. Quite a gloom was cast over the community on Sunday morning, when the news was received that Eddie Schmidt had received a fatal gun shot wound. It appears that he in company with some young friends had driven out hunting and that while in the wagon his gun on which he was leaning, was discharged by one of those unaccountable accidents, which sometime occur. The charge entered the back portion of the head and death must have instantaneously ensued. The lad was a bright, intelligent youth, just completing his fourteenth year, and was a general favorite with all who knew him. E. E. Fisher & Co., the enter- Quite a number of deeds have been placed on record in the Clerk's office during the past week for land, both here and in Richland. Want of space has compelled their omission in the present issue. On Wednesday, the Santa Ana river made its appearance in the old channel, north west of Anaheim, which was cut out during the flood of 1862. This has not happened before in five or six years. Says the Ventura Signal: "J. H. Gooch has bought a piece of land in Anaheim, where he will soon engage in fruit culture. Gooch is a good fellow and we can recommend him to the Anaheimans." Max Nebelung, the popular proprietor of the Anaheim Hotel, has sent to San Francisco for a billiard table. An average expert at that noble game can now have "a soft thing on Max." When Addis has a young lady sitting for her portrait, and is desirous of evoking that pleasant expression of feature, so necessary to the success of his efforts, he says in a cooling tone, "Fasten your eye here, my dear, and think of 'im."

The Grangers in Council. At the last meeting of Fruitland, Orange, Westminster and Fairview Granges, committees were appointed to meet in Anabeim and confer together regarding the propriety of engaging in the cooperative association contemplated at Los Angeles. The following is a report of the result of that meeting, sent us by Fruitland Grange with a request for publication: Patrons of Freikland Grange: Your delegation appointed to confer with delegates from Orange, Fairview and Westminster Granges submit the following report: It was the unanimous opinion of the delegates that it is not advisable to cooperate with other Granges of the county at Los Angeles as a place of business; that for the four Granges in the extreme south east end of the county, the distance is so great as to require two days to make a trip, which loss of time and other necessary expense would counterbalance any benefit likely to result from such cooperation. Your delegation would, therefore, recommend that, if an arrangement can be made satisfactory and equitable to each of the Granges named, that we raise the means on our part to enter into the cooperative plan of furnishing supplies of all kinds for the four Granges in the south east end of the county by the selection of a suitable place for doing business, and that the members of Fruitland Grange take stock to the amount of their pro rata of the general cost, under such conditions and restrictive conditions. Senator Bush's Bill Criticised. In last week's issue of the Californian, I observe Senator Bush's Bill on Irrigation, as laid before the Senate, which no doubt will be hailed with joy by many in the county, as indicative of better times for this part of the State. Whilst there is much to admire in the Bill, there are, to my mind at least, some very objectionable features also, and I believe enough to make the whole Bill inoperative, and with your permission I will enumerate some of the sections which will lead to such a result. Section 1 creates a permanent office, which will entail a large salary from the pockets of the rate-payers. This I consider unnecessary. The petition from the people wishing to be formed as a Water District, might be presented directly to the Board of Supervisors, to whom should be given power in the premises, and should that Body have cause to apprehend the petitioners wish to run water up hill, they may send the County Surveyor or to investigate the route before submitting the tax question to a vote of the district. Section 4 leaves it to the people to vote a tax for the construction of the works in question. This should be amended this way: Whenever the works to be constructed shall necessitate the levying of a tax upon the district exceeding two cents, or thereof outspending every hundred dollars of the assessed value thereof, such work should be paid for by the issue of Bonds of THE CASTLE HARRIS 63 MAIM IMPORT GENTS FUNG YANKEE MUSICAL INSTRUCTOR SCHOOL BOOK OIGARS Fresh Garden Importing our goods than any house souls 63 Main Street.

As to the location of a place of business, it was agreed upon that the competing points make up in the shape of a bonus (or of stock subscribed) what they are willing to do to secure the location at their respective points of choice, which will exert its proper influence in the final location of a place of business. The delegation from Westminster requested your delegation to present to you their reasons, why they think that point should be selected as a place, where the distributing and receiving point should be located; which are because it is on the road to the Landing, at which point our grain and surplus products must go for shipment to market, compelling us to pass through their place; that the cost of delivering marketing to the Landing, as well as getting supplies to their place from the Landing would be less than at any other point that could be selected; that there would be less danger from fire than at any other point that could be selected, provided the location was made in a town; that it would be as convenient to most of the members of Fruitland and Orange Granges as Anaheim would be, being on the direct line of travel to the Landing of both those Granges, and that Fairview Grange would have to diverge from a direct line but little to reach them; and that the location at any other point would put them to inconvenience and cost, as their marketing would have to be hauled back by their place to the Landing, the place of shipment. The delegation from Anaheim represented that at that place in consequence of the stores already keeping a full and general assortment of goods would put it in the power of members to be certain of procuring anything they might want, not to be had in the Grange store, and the further fact that the outside business and patronage of the Grange store or to investigate the route before submitting the tax question to a vote of the district. Section 4 leaves it to the people to vote a tax for the construction of the works in question. This should be amended this way: Whenever the works to be constructed shall necessitate the levying of a tax upon the district exceeding two cents, or thereabouts, upon every hundred dollars of the assessed value thereof, such work should be paid for by the issue of Bonds of the District, payable at farthest in twenty years; a portion of the said bonds being paid off annually, and the interest on the said bonds paid also, at the office of the County Treasurer, and in order that the said bonds may be sold advantageously, the county should be allowed to guarantee the payments. You will see that section seems to imply that the whole sum be levied at once, which in the case of irrigating works from the Santa Ana River being proposed, I am sure, would defeat the whole project, the cost of construction being large, and if levied would tend to harass the settlers very much. I believe it is estimated to cost three dollars per acre, which together with other taxes, would be intolerable to the people. Section 7 says that the Water Commissioners are to receive mileage, as well as daily pay, and they can meet as often as once in two weeks or oftener. Now the Board of Supervisors meet monthly, and these meetings amount to a considerable sum annually. This Body will cost nearly as much as they do, and in all justice I cannot see why the pay is not sufficient without mileage being attached. Living as they will do, somewhere in the district, they can not have more than a few miles travel, and I have no doubt that all of them could return home the same day. Whilst we do wish Legislative aid for such undertakings, it certainly is the duty of every person to be benefitted to endeavor to have the same economically done, and endeavor to have all done for the benefit of the people, and not for the benefit of those in office or in need of office. Section 6 makes the Overseeer, tax Assessor and Collector. Probably something might be said by the Commissioners making a request to the Board of Supervisors to levy and collect the sums wanted. Such request being made before the other taxes are levied the money could then be collected by the county along with the other taxes and paid to the district as in the bill. Trusting, however, that these few inconvenience and cost, as their marketing would have to be hauled back by their place to the Landing, the place of shipment. The delegation from Anaheim represented that at that place in consequence of the stores already there keeping a full and general assortment of goods would put it in the power of members to be certain of procuring anything they might want, not to be bad in the Grange store, and the further fact that the outside business and patronage of the Grange store at that place would quadruple that of any other point that could be selected, and were considerations that should be weighed in the location of a place of business. Your delegation suggested to the delegations of the other Granges the justice and propriety of making some arrangement by which all men who toil for their bread can avail themselves of our plan of cooperation, by paying to the different Granges an annual sum equal to the dues of a Grange member, on the payment of which and the presentation of the proper voucher (from the Grange where such payment was made) at the Grange store, the party so applying to be entitled to goods at the same price as members of the Grange and to all other benefits conferred in the purchase and sale of property by or through Grange influence. This would only be a simple act of justice to men who toll; it would disarm opposition by demonstrating that we are not and do not intend to act from selfish motives, and will secure the hearty cooperation of a worthy class of men, whose interests are in harmony and identical with our own. It is the request of the Granges, by their delegates, that you send two delegates to meet a like number from each of theirs at Anaheim on Monday the 23d of February, at 12 o'clock, at Judge Clark's office. All of which is respectfully submitted. Section 6 makes the Overseer, tax Assessor and Collector. Probably something might be said by the Commissioners making a request to the Board of Supervisors to levy and collect the sums wanted. Such request being made before the other taxes are levied the money could then be collected by the county along with the other taxes and paid to the district as in the bill. Trusting, however, that these few remarks may meet your approbation as well as our Senators and Representatives and the people of the county as a whole. I remain, yours truly, John Hunter. DIED. FISK—Near Anaheim, February 8th, John Fisk. SCHMIDT.—February 8th, T. Edward Schmidt, aged 13 years, 10 months and 21 days. Obituary. The presence of Death at any time casts over the weak human nature a gloom and feeling of deep sorrow, but when his ley hand unloosenes the golden cord of youth, and when the knowledge that for him all seasons are alike, is impressed upon our minds so directly as in the present instance: the sentiment is intensified to an unusual degree. Knowz, who, but a few short days ago was in our midst, full of life and health, and whose young existence has been so untimely ended, was a lad of unusual promise. Quick in perception, eager in disposition and imbued with a desire to improve his mind had reached a maturity far in advance of his years. But it was not his mental faculties, brilliant though they were, that endeared him to all with whom he came in contact. His extreme aminity of temperament, his ever readiness to oblige, and his buoyancy and goodness of heart were the qualities which won for him the esternity of his companions and the love of his older friends, and which shed snailhands around the little household of which he was at one on joy and pride. We, as one who knew him and loved him well, wish fair speak words of comfort in the bermudian grief-striken mother, who in the long and silent matches of the night years for the child, for whom she first felt the maternal love, but we feel how magnificent are words of human consolation. We can only, with great breath, commend her to the healing influences of the River of All Good, who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, and to whom even the smallest sparrow is a care. Remember, old Mother, in the extremity of thy sorrow, that your boy is not dead, but sleepeth; and that freed from the heart ache and the many pangs of earth, he in tranquill certainty awaits in the Shadow Land that reunion, which is the inheritance of the Immor...
