Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY ... FEBRUARY 18, 1875 The Vermont Legislature has refused to pass a bill regulating fares and freights, and in the Minnesota Legislature there is a movement to repeal the restrictive railroad legislation of last year. The Sacramento Record gives its opinion that too much importance is given to our Champagne atmosphere and Strawberry-All-the-year-round; and that a more effective way of inducing immigration would be to give information as to the cost of living, wages, rent, etc. When the Mexican Congress issued its decree expelling the Sisters of Charity from that country, and abolishing the convents, it did an unwise and unjustifiable act, for which no adequate excuse can be given; and the women of Mexico have just issued an indignant protest against the new law. They use the following vigorous language: "We promise not to recognize as father, brother or husband, anybody who, directly or indirectly, took part in the action of Congress expelling the Sisters of Charity." It is stated that the Senate Committee on Patents views with disfavor the applications for the extension of patents on sewing machines. Should an extension be refused, the effect would be that machines, which now cost $60, would be sold at not more than $20. It is said that machines, for which $40, $50 and $60 are asked, can be bought in England—where the patent does not apply—imported to this country, and sold for one-half the price demanded by American manufacturers. It is time that this stupen- LETTERS OF INQUIRY. SAYBROOK, Ill., Jan. 18th, 1875. Messrs. R.

I am a farmer, and want to move to Southern California. Any information in regard to price of land, etc., would be gladly received. If you have any land agents in your town, please send me their address, so that I may correspond with them. Yours, etc., F. T. Tuckner. METAMORA, Ill., Jan. 18th, 1875. Messrs. R. Melrose & Co., GENTS: I intend removing to California in the Spring, and wishing to gain information from different parts of the State. I would be pleased if you would send me the Anaheim Gazette. Any information which you can send me in regard to your colony will be very thankfully received. Yours Truly, W. Stowell. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan 23, 1875. Messrs. R. Melrose & Co., DEAR SIRS:—Having some thoughts of locating in California, and desiring to learn all I can about the State, I wish to take a local paper, and I want you to send me the Anaheim Gazette. W. A. MAHONEY. We are constantly receiving letters like the foregoing, from parties seeking information regarding Southern California. We will state in reply that Anaheim is situated near the centre of a valley forty miles in length from east to west and twenty miles from north to south. All of this land is alluvial and very rich, and three-fourths of it is moist, bottom land, where the average depth to water is not over six feet, and upon which, with good cultivation, crops of grain, corn, castor beans, potatoes, etc. are yearly raised without irrigation. Those who irrigate raise two crops each season; one of grain, and after that is removed, the ground is irrigated and a crop of On the first page of to-day's paper is a short article entitled "Learn a Trade." It contains good wholesome advice, and the subject is one that the parents of to-day would do well to study. A good trade and a good education mean independence to the possessor. We find in the Chicago Tribune a little story which well illustrates the vicesitudes to which the "educated" young man of the period is subjected. The managers of Booth's theatre, in New York, advertised for 200 young men to take the paltry position of "supes" in the retinue of the King, in the play of Richard III. On the morning following the appearance of the advertisement, when the treasurer of the theatre went down to the box-office he found over 2,000 genteel appearing young men, applicants for positions, patiently awaiting his appearance. The number augmented so rapidly that it was found necessary to detail special policemen to preserve order. Many of them offered to work for twenty-five cents per night, so pitiful were their condition. We are told that they were "clerks, book-keepers and the like." Had those young men learned a trade, it is not probable that they would be in the distressed condition in which they now find themselves. And besides there is a dignity attached to manual labor which can never be attained in any other walk of life. LAST week, in company with Mr. L. M. Holt, Secretary of the Los Angeles Immigration & Land Co., and several gentlemen connected with the Los Angeles Press, we made a trip to the new settlement of Artesia, the advertisement of which appears in our columns. This land is situated about three miles south and three-quarters of a mile west of Norwalk Station on the Anaheim Branch of the S. P. R. R. east of New River and comprises 3,500 acres of very fine land. As yet no wells have been bored on the lands, but the abundant streams of water valley forty miles in length from east to west and twenty miles from north to south. All of this land is alluvial and very rich, and three-fourths of it is moist, bottom land, where the average depth to water is not over six feet, and upon which, with good cultivation, crops of grain, corn, castr beans, potatoes, etc. are yearly raised without irrigation. Those who irrigate raise two crops each season; one of grain, and after that is removed, the ground is irrigated and a crop of corn is planted. By this plan two full crops are raised each year. The land is inexhaustibly rich, and long experience has proved that irrigated lands do not deteriorate with constant cropping. All of the valley lands are particularly adapted to Alfalfa or Lucerne, which, when irrigated, will if pastured, supply abundance of green feed to three head of large cattle or horses, or twenty sheep or ten hogs, to each acre, and if the grass is cut and used for soiling, each acre will sustain double the above number of each kind of stock. It will grow to the height of thirty inches, ten times in each year, yielding, if cut for hay, one and one-half tons at each cutting. This may seem a large yield to people residing east of the Rocky mountains, but it is well known in California. This grass is admirably adapted to butter and cheese making. Imagine cows having all the clover they can eat, during the whole year! This is certainly the paradise of dairymen, where forty acres will sustain from one hundred and twenty to two hundred cows the entire year. A large portion of the same land is admirably adapted to the production of semi-tropical fruits. They are growing, and producing as well on these lands, as upon any in this section. Tobacco is becoming an important crop; it yields three cuttings each year, of a quality so fine that it sold at Louisville, Kentucky, from 80 to 100 per cent. higher than any other tobacco in the market. The tract of land known as the Stearns' Ranchos occupies the center of this valley, and there are within the limits of said ranchos about 90,000 acres of the choicest land for sale in lots to suit. The prices of unimproved lands ready for the plow, in the artesian well belt, range from $20 to $80 per acre according to quality, at this time; but the demand for land is very great, and prices are advancing. Intending purchasers should not delay, but come at once. Mr. Wm. R. Olden is agent for these lands and will at our request send maps and geles Immigration & Land Co., and several gentlemen connected with the Los Angeles Press, we made a trip to the new settlement of Artesia, the advertisement of which appears in our columns. This land is situated about three miles south and three-quarters of a mile west of Norwalk Station on the Anaheim Branch of the S. P. R. R. east of New River and comprises 3,500 acres of very fine land. As yet no wells have been bored on the lands, but the abundant streams of water which have been obtained on the farms immediately adjoining, warrant the assertion that artesian water can be had upon every foot of the tract. One of the wells we visited was capped, and upon removing the plug from the cap, the water was forced through an inch augur hole to the height of eight or ten feet. Another well was flowing a stream four inches above the top of the pipe, a beautiful and perpetual fountain. A town plat embracing a quarter section of land has been laid out in the center of the tract and it is the intention of the Company to make a lively go-ahead town. To do this, a lot of two acres has been set apart for school purposes. Ten per cent. of the receipts from the sale of town lots, and two and a half per cent. of the receipts from the sale of outside lands at the first auction sale, will be appropriated to the building of a schoolhouse and the improvement of the school property. Arrangements are being made for the establishment of a Methodist Episcopal Church and a lot is offered to any Church or Society that will erect thereon a building for public use. Regulations, similar to those of Westminster, have been made prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks in the settlement. On the farms adjoining Artesia fine crops have been raised and trees and vines are looking finely. After visiting almost every portion of the land we returned to Anaheim, convinced that Artesia will soon become a thickly settled and prosperous settlement. AROUND THE COUNTY. The Improved Order of Red Men will parade in Los Angeles on Washington's Birthday. The great land sale on the Centinela Colony will commence on Monday, and continue five days. A daughter of T. A. Garey, of Los Angeles, aged five years, died of scarlet fever on Wednesday. It is believed that the appropriation of $30,000 for the Wilmington Breakwater will be granted by Congress.

Hall, the contractors to build the fifty miles of railroad from Spadra to San Gorgonio, have now 250 men at work grading. They started in to work on the 3d, although their contract gave them to the 10th to commence, and they have now graded four miles. The road will be finished about the 1st of May.—Express. Superintendent Hewitt informs us that Mr. Hood, assistant Engineer of the Southern Pacific Railroad, with a party of surveyors is now in the mountains north of San Fernando locating the tunnel. Mr. J. B. Harris, Superintendent of construction, is in the city making arrangements to prosecute the work on the tunnel with vigor as soon as the location is made. He will employ from 500 to 600 men for the next eighteen months. Orders have been issued from headquarters to push the line from Allen's Station (the present terminus below Bakersfield) towards San Fernando with the utmost expedition.—Herald. NEWS IN BRIEF.

United States Patent. Situation. "Centinela," with the addition of the "Sausal Redondo," contains 25,000 acres. The boundary of the Rancho commences three and a half miles from the city limits of Los Angeles, and extends to the Pacific Ocean. Topography. "Centinela" is made up of one broad, level fortile 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 1,000 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 in five years. There are 7,000 three year old orange trees in the nursery near the orchard. Fig, 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 fair tree 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 plants 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 yearly, 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 d degrees in winter, and rises but little above sixty degrees in summer. You sleep under one pair of blankets and with your bed-room window open every night in the year. Agriculture. The soil of the "Centinela" is admirably adapted for all kinds of grain, vegetables and fruit. Water. The Centinela creek rises upon the Lancho 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. Monterey and San Francisco.
