Anaheim Gazette GO. J. KNOX ... EDITOR. SATURDAY...JANUARY 20, 1875. TO THE PATRONS OF THE GAZETTE. After to-day my business connection with the Gazette, both as one of its publishers and as its editor, will have ceased. My increasing official duties and the requirements of business, connected with my profession, render it impracticable in the future for me to attempt any additional labor. I have, therefore, sold my interest to my partners, Messrs. Melrose and Atherton, for whom I bespeak a continuance and an increase of the kind patronage, which has been hitherto so liberally bestowed upon us. And in this, the last publication under my editorial charge, I have taken brief occasion to express my thorough appreciation of the friendly encouragement bestowed so generally upon my editorial efforts, and to thank in an especial manner the generous friends whose encouragement was not only from the heart but with the hand. GEO. C. KNOX. AMONG the visitors to see Kalakaua, King of the Kanakas, when he was at New Bedford, Massachusetts, was an old sea-captain, ninety years of age. This old salt is now the sole survivor of the crew of the first whaler that visited the Sandwich Islands, seventy-five years ago; and at that time the queen of the Islands swam out to the ship. INSTEAD of the name, "sore-heads," formerly applied to members of a political party, who were in opposition, the designation of the "weak-minded" has been given to those Republicans, who openly censured the President's policy in Louisiana affairs. The New York Tribune notes the appropriateness THE CAJON WATER DISTRICT. On next Saturday will occur an election for the creation of a water district, under the provisions of the Bush Irrigation Act. The district has been designated as Cajon Water District, and is composed in the main of the up-lands, lying to the north and north-east of Anaheim. Within the exterior boundaries of the district there are nearly fourteen thousand acres of land, owned by fifty-three different persons. These land-owners, or their legal representatives, constitute the qualified electors of the district. The question, which will be submitted to them, will be whether they shall levy a tax upon their lands, amounting in the whole to $25,000, for the purpose of constructing a water ditch, by means of which their several tracts can be placed under irrigation. The pro rata will amount to about $1.78 per acre. The ditch, when completed, will be five feet wide at bottom, eleven feet at top, and two feet in depth. Besides voting affirmatively or negatively upon the question of taxation, there must be elected a Board of three Water Commissioners, and an Overseer. Some fears have been felt and expressed that the very favorable seasons which have occurred since this subject was first actively agitated, would have the effect to create a luke-warmness among the advocates of the measure, and that, as there now exists no immediate necessity for irrigation, the farmers, directly interested, might pursue the traditionary Arkansas policy of again waiting until there arises an actual necessity to irrigate. We judge, however, from conversations with many of the property owners in the district that these fears are without foundation; and we have been informed besides, from outside sources, that a certain opposition, which, it was supposed, could not be brought over, no longer exists. The reasons for this are very simple. The tract of INSTEAD of the name, "sore-heads," formerly applied to members of a political party, who were in opposition, the designation of the "weak-minded" has been given to those Republicans, who openly censured the President's policy in Louisiana affairs. The New York Tribune notes the appropriateness of the expression, when applied to such men as Wm. Cullen Bryant, Wm. M. Evarts, ex-Governor Bullock and Charles Francis Adams. IRWIN has told all he knows about what became of the $350,000 of Pacific Mail funds. He gave to Schumaker, $300,000; to King, ex-postmaster of the House of Representatives, $170,000; to Abert, $125,000; to Whiting, $100,000; to Forney, $25,000; and sent to San Francisco, $100,000. Of these gentlemen Abert only has accounted for his "talent"; he divided it in "Newspaper Row." King has fled to parts unknown, and who got the money in San Francisco Irwin has not yet had the presence of mind to remember. UNDER the able administration of our present Postmaster-General, Mr. Jewell, many important and substantial improvements have been effected in our foreign postal service. On Monday the postal treaty with Canada will go into operation; under this treaty a three-cent stamp will carry a letter from any part of the United States to all parts of the Dominion. On and after July 1st, under the agreement of the European Postal Conference, letters may be sent from the United States to any part of Europe, except France, for six cents. Besides this, arrangements have been nearly completed, providing for a weekly slow mail to Great Britain, carrying letters for three cents. THE Mexican Congress has lately devoted a portion of its time to legislation in matters regarding the church militant, with a view evidently to destroy its capability for future interference in affairs of State. Some of the provisions adopted have the appearance of persecution. For instance; it is made a crime for the minister of any religion to wear outside of church "a special costume or any distinctive mark of his character," and all assemblages in church must be public and open to the attendance farmers, directly interested, might pursue the traditionary Arkansas policy of again waiting until there arises an actual necessity to irrigate. We judge, however, from conversations with many of the property owners in the district that these fears are without foundation; and we have been informed besides, from outside sources, that a certain opposition, which, it was supposed, could not be brought over, no longer exists. The reasons for this are very simple. The tract of up-lands, which comprises the larger portion of this district, is par excellence the fruit-growing section of Los Angeles county. Practical experience, both here and elsewhere, has thoroughly demonstrated that semi-tropical trees can not be raised without irrigation,and as it is the wish of a majority of the actual cultivators of the soil within the district to devote themselves to this particular branch of agriculture, they have determined to employ the only feasible means of irrigation which presents itself. To procure artesian water appears to be impracticable; in certain portions of the district it is over one hundred feet to the first water-carrying stratum, and the chances, that an attempt to obtain flowing water would result in a useless expenditure of money, are too great for any farmer to take the risk. These and other reasons will undoubtedly cause a majority of the electors in the Cajon District to vote affirmatively on Saturday. In that event the great obstacle, which has hitherto opposed action under the Bush Act—the indisposition of the people to vote a tax upon themselves, will have been successfully overcome. After that will come the collection of the tax, which has been thus imposed. RESOLUTIONS OF CENSURE. We find published in the Los Angeles Herald of last Sunday a set of resolutions, passed recently by Los Angeles Grange, No. 36, censuring the State Board of Education for their action in changing the school text-books, now in use. As the only relief from this threatened incubus will lie with the next Legislature, and as the best method of calling their attention to the subject is by a general expression from the people, we re-publish entire the resolutions as suggestive to the Grangers of this section. Sacramento Grange and several other Granges in the northern part of the State have already taken a similar action in the matter,and have expressed their censure in equally unqualified terms. The Senator Morton has introduced a bill in the United States Senate, providing for a change in the method of electing the President and Vice-President. Harper's Weekly in commenting upon this measure thus states the evil which might possibly arise from the method of election, hitherto pursued: It (the present method) is possibly a question of civil war; for, by the joint rule of Congress, if either branch persists in its refusal to receive the electoral vote of a State, it must be rejected, and if enough be rejected to prevent a majority of the whole for either candidate, the election is thrown into the House. In 1876 the Senate will be Republican and the House Democratic. If the contest should be close, and the returns favor the election of a Republican, the House could reject States enough on various presences to draw the election into its own power, and make a Democrat President. As the only relief from this threatened incubus will lie with the next Legislature, and as the best method of calling their attention to the subject is by a general expression from the people, we re-publish entire resolutions as suggestive to the Grangers of this section. Sacramento Grange and several other Granges in the northern part of the State have already taken a similar action in the matter, and have expressed their censure in equally unqualified terms. The resolutions are under the signature of S. A. Waldron. Secretary of Los Angeles Grange, were passed at the regular meeting of the Grange on last Saturday, and are as follows: Whereas, It appears officially that a majority of the State Board of Education, have ordered a change of the text books now in use in the public schools of this State; and Whereas, The said Board were fully apprised by a large majority of the County Superintendents and teachers of the State through their Institutes; by the unanimous voice of the press and the whole people through the Grange have proclaimed that no change was desired; and Whereas, The said change of text books was uncalled for and will cost the people the sum of over a half million of dollars without receiving in return the benefit of a single mill; and Whereas, The said change of books was made in the pecuniary Interest of the members of the Board who voted for it, and sundry publishing houses; be it, therefore, Resolved, That no reasonable excuse of a want of knowledge of the wishes of the people on a change of books can be urged in mitigation of the action of the State Board for their infamous betrayal of the people for a price. Resolved, That Messrs. Allen, Denman, Kelly, Kennedy and Lynch have proven themselves traitors to the people by betraying the confidence reposed in them, and that we pledge ourselves never to support any of the above enumerated persons for any place of honor, profit or trust. ABSTRACT. AROUND THE COUNTY. Ducommun's rain-gauge makes the total rain-fall at Los Angeles a fraction more than 20 inches. Col. B. L. Peel has gone to San Bernardino to canvass for stock-subscriptions to the Independence Railroad. The wheat crop in the San Fernando valley is all up and looking finely. About 14 inches of rain have fallen there. Downey City was almost flooded by the rain on Monday, and the residents of that burgh have turned their attention to the construction of draining ditches. J. D. Dunlap, Deputy United States Marshall, has received the appointment of United States Timber Agent for Southern California, and will enter upon the duties of his office at once. Superintendent Hewitt has enjoyed no sincere position during the past two weeks. The rains and freshhets have made constant assaults upon the several roads out of this city and it required the vigilance of a general in battle to meet the enemy at every point. Colonel Hewitt has done this and by his unwearying exertions he has succeeded in repairing the roads and holding the enemy in decent check. Engineer Crawford advertises this morning for proposals from contractors for grading the summit section of the Los Angeles and Independence Railroad at the head of Cajon Pass. The work requires great expedition, and the amount necessary to be done on each section will approximate $10,000 per month. It will be incumbent upon each bidder to visit the grounds and receive explanations in person from Mr. Buchanan, the Locating Engineer, as the grading is quite difficult. Mr. Crawford informs us that the survey is progressing very satisfactorily. Last night Mr. Yorke's party camped beyond Mr. Rose's place, eleven miles from the city. They found an advantageous grade up the Arroyo Seco. About the end of next week they will connect with the upper surveying party near Cucamonga. The line will run through the Azusa Ranch and Mud Spring valley, thus securing a shorter route than that proposed by the Southern Pacific Railroad. Sunday's Herald. James M. Thompson of Suscol and his associates, have recently purchased 125,000 acres of land in Texas, with practical control of as much more, and have now got on it some 10,000 sheep and 600 goats. The call for relief to the sufferers by the Marysville flood has been promptly and liberally responded to by the people in the northern part of the state. The Central Pacific Company forwarded a check for $5,000; San Francisco raised over $10,000; and other places contributed in liberal proportion. The Napa Valley Water Company, recently incorporated, proposes to take the water of Rector Creek and other streams running into Napa river and tributary thereto, and conduct the same by means of suitable acqueducts, tunnels, flumes, and pipes to the towns of Napa, Vallejo, Mare Island, Benicia and all intermediate towns and villages. Senator Wright has introduced a bill in the United States Senate to provide that for two years from July, 1875 salaries of all Government officers and employees in all branches of the service and wherever employed shall be reduced ten per cent. If they exceed $1,000 per annum. The salaries of the President and United States Judges are excepted. The U.S. Treasury Department has information which leads to the suspicion that opium in large quantities is smuggled into this country. The business is principally carried on by Chinese, who are very ingenious in their contrivances to elude the vigilance of the revenue officers. The Special Agents have been notified to keep a secret watch over this matter, especially on the Pacific Coast. While the tea importers generally favor the proposed tariff on teas, the dealers think it will yield little revenue for a full year to come, because of the unpreceilented accumulation of stock in the United States, and the fact that the new crop will have left the Asiatic ports before the new tariff can go into effect. They estimate that if the law goes into operation, March list, there will be a stock on hand of 99,000,000 pounds, besides the new crop importations. A young Chinaman named Cheany Quon Wo, of San Francisco, has secured a patent for a reinforcer on connecting seams in overalls. It has been a matter of great interest among... NEWS IN BRIEF. Vasquez has been sentenced to be hanged on the 19th day of next March. Healdsburg offers $10,000 for a supply of water. The San Francisco School of Design will be opened on February 10th. The assessed value of the property of San Bernardino county is $1,742,000 and the indebtedness $9,700. The Mexican Commission, to settle land matters on the frontier, is expected daily in San Diego. The foundation for a seminary to be used by the Sisters of Charity is being laid at Yuma City. Hop growing has proven very profitable in Lake County to the few engaged in it, and next season a large area will be planted. D. D. Gunnison, Justice of the Peace at Independence, Inyo County, committed suicide on the 14th inst. by shooting himself through the heart. One hundred and forty eight Sisters of Charity, expelled from Mexico, have arrived at Havana, en route for France. Five of the eleven members of the Committee on Elections are opposed to the resolution of the majority to exclude Delegate Cannon from his seat. New York dispatches state that more than three million dollars in gold were shipped per steamer to Europe on Saturday last. Negotiations in the Virginia affair between the United States and Spain have been entirely broken off—at least for the present. The first reported loss in the Marysville inundation was an exaggeration. Thus far only one life is known to have been lost, that of a six-year-old boy, named Edward Lackey. Two women, who keep a baby-farming establishment at Hollister, Connecticut, have been arrested on a charge of poisoning five infants within eight weeks. The jury, in the case of Ellen Fleming vs the California Pacific Railroad Company to recover $25,000 damages for the death of her son, have returned a verdict for the defendants. Deidesheimer, the Civil Engineer, has ventured to give, as only a partial result of a survey of the great bonanza in Comstock, the estimate that it closes a means of wealth equal to $1,500,000,000. Prince William, heir-presumptive to the throne of Wurtemburg, is to eat cating Engineer, as the grading is quite difficult. Mr. Crawford informs us that the survey is progressing very satisfactorily. Last night Mr. Yorke's party camped beyond Mr. Rose's place, eleven miles from the city. They found an advantageous grade up the Arroyo Seco. About the end of next week they will connect with the upper surveying party near Cucamonga. The line will run through the Azusa Ranch and Mud Spring valley, thus securing a shorter route than that proposed by the Southern Pacific Railroad.—Sunday's Herald. A young Chinaman named Cheany Quon Wo, of San Francisco, has secured a patent for a reinforcer on connecting seams in overalls. It has been a matter of great interest among workingmen, and particularly so among miners, to secure the pocket seams of overalls from ripping, and a number of patents have been granted by the office here for devices of this nature unimportant as it may appear to be. This is the first patent ever issued to a Chinaman in the United States. Hon. Thos. F. Bayard has been elected U.S. Senator from Delaware; Francis M. Cockrill, has been elected Senator from Missouri; Francis Kewan from New York. Isaac P. Christiancy has been elected Senator from Michigan in place of Zach Chandler; A. S. Paddock has been elected Senator from Nebraska; both elected by a coalition of Independents and Democrats. Henry L. Dawes has been elected Senator from Massachusetts, and Hannibal Hamlin from Maine. The Goodall, Nelson & Perkins Steamship Company was incorporated last week. The object is to transact steamship business on the Pacific coast and in any of the bays and harbors and anywhere on the Pacific ocean; also, to carry on the business of warehouses and wharfings in connection with the steam-bip business. The Directors are Charles Goodall, Christopher Nelson, George C. Perkins, John O'Farrell, John Rosenfeld, N.S.Winsinger and Edwin Goodall, who are also the incorporators. The capital stock is $2,000,000, divided into 20,000 shares. A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Delegate McCormick authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to cause the boundary line between Arizona and New Mexico to be surveyed and distinctly marked, so as all persons can ascertain where the line runs. Plants are to be filed in the Interior Department, and also at each of the offices of the Surveyor-General of New Mexico and Arizona. Mr. McCormick's bill asks for an appropriation not to exceed $27,370 for the purpose. The United States troops, under the command of Captain Henry, which had been sent to the Black Hills in search of mining parties, and which were driven back by the extreme cold weather, have arrived at Camp Sheridan. They encountered the most severe weather, and nearly whole party were badly frozen. Forty men were at once placed in the hospital to be treated for frozen limbs. Twenty-four empty saddles came in, and ambulances were sent to bring in those who were too badly frozen to get into the saddles. Captain Henry's hands, and arms to the elbows, were Special Notice.

OF SUPERVISORS OF THE Los Angeles State of California, at in parsimance of an Act in charge SHOULD BE ON THE GROUND a few days prior to the sale, in order to EXAMINE THE PROPERTY. Title. United States Patent. Situation. "Centinela," with the addition of the "Sansal Redondo," contains 25,000 acres. The boundary of the Rancho commences tire and a half mile from the city limits of Los Angeles, and extends to the Pacific Ocean. Topography. "Centinela" is made up of one broad, level fertile valley of over twenty thousand acres and beautiful, fertile rolling hills near the Ocean. Soil. The soil is an exceedingly fertile loam, and is without exception the richest and most productive in Southern California. Its vicinity to the ocean insures a crop without irrigation. Excellent what has been raised for the last two years upon the hills adjoining the ocean. This wheat field contains 12,000 acres and covers the lightest soil upon the Rancho. There is no alkali or barren land. Semi-Tropical Fruits. There are a few bearing orange and lime trees upon the Centinela, and the fruit they produce is of the largest and finest quality. There is an orchard containing 6,000 orange trees three years old, and 1,700 almond, lime and lemon trees. The almond, lime and lemon trees will bear fruit in 1875. The orange trees will bear fruit in five years. There are 7,000 three year old orange trees in the nursery near the orchard. Eig pepper and gum trees grow without irrigation. The entire orchard can be taken care of by three men with six horses. The orchard will be kept undivided by the Company, to save the expense of each shareholder having a few trees to take care of. Each share will entitle the owner to about 15 trees in the orchard and about the same number in the nursery. The almond, lime and lemon trees will yield an immediate return. In five years each orange tree will produce $20 per annum, or $300 per share for those now planted. There are flowers in the garden in bloom every day in the year. Sheep. A flock of about 14,000 sheep will be kept undivided to save expense to the shareholders. This will give about 30 sheep to each share. The sheep will produce an increase and wool over $2 each year, over expenses. They will be grazed upon outlying and unsold lands of the company. The "no fence" law is in force in Los Angeles county. Climate. The climate of the "Centinela" is without exception the finest and most equable in the world. It varies but little throughout the year. The mean temperature is about sixty degrees. The mercury falls but little below sixty degrees in winter, and rises but little above sixty degrees in summer. You sleep under one pair of Wankets and with your bed-room window open every night in the year. Agriculture. The soil of the "Centinela" is almirably adapted for all kinds of grain, vegetables and fruit. Water. The Centinela creek rises upon the Rancho and runs through the northern portion of the tract. It affords an abundance of clear spring water. The source of the Centinela creek consists of several natural artesian springs showing that artesian water can be obtained by boring. The Town. A square mile is laid off at an eligible point on the tract, with lots 25x140, avenue 100 feet, and streets 80 feet wide. A stream of water can be brought in so as to supply every lot with crystal cool, sweet water. Insure The soil of the "Centinela" is almiritably adapted for all kinds of grain, vegetables and fruit.
