Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY...MAY 15, 1875. The Nautical Board has revoked the license of Capt. Fake, who commanded the Ventura at the time of her loss. Their action is based upon alleged negligence in running at such a rate, eleven and a half knots an hour, and so near the coast in a dense fog. The Ventura should have been, they say, fifteen or twenty miles from land in passing Point Sur, instead of four or five, and they consider that in any event, running the steamer in shore was entirely unnecessary. The cheering news reaches us that it is highly probable that the Beecher trial will be brought to an end by about the first day of June. There is only one other piece of news which could convey such a ray of gladness to our bosom. If we were assured that, simultaneous with the end of the Brooklyn scandal, one hundred hod-carriers would be carrying brick up to the third story of the new hotel, our happiness would be as complete as that of the flora, cycloped Sunflower. The steamship Schiller, Captain Thomas, from New York for Hamburg, was wrecked off the Sicily Isles on the night of the 8th inst. The part of the coast where the Schiller struck is notoriously dangerous and difficult of navigation, and a dense fog prevailed at the time of the disaster. There were 385 persons on board, and only 74 are known to have been saved. Among the lost is the Captain. The surviving passengers all unite in their testimony as to his bravery and coolness. They say that he exercised the greatest care, and was not in bed for five nights previous to the disaster. IRRIGATION IN SEMI-TROPICAL CALIFORNIA. No. 4 In the preceding articles, I have gone over the field and described as well as I could, without going into detail, the actualities and possibilities of irrigation in Semi-Tropical California. I will now proceed to describe the present condition of irrigating ditches—those which are actually being constructed in the different localities, and what may reasonably be expected to be built in the immediate future. I will first proceed to describe the most important enterprise in ditch building, ever attempted in this section. I refer to the ditch of the first irrigation district organized under the Irrigation law of Los Angeles county. DISTRICT NO. 1 Includes within its boundaries nearly 15,000 acres of irrigable land, lying north-east, north and north-west of the town of Anaheim, and comprising in one block the largest and most fertile body of irrigated land in the county. (The great body of lands heretofore irrigated have been low-lying lands, adapted principally to the production of corn, barley and alfalfa—strictly farming and not fruit lands. There are, of course, important exceptions, which will be noticed hereafter.) These lands all have an elevation above the sea of from 150 to 300 feet. This secures exemption from frosts, to which low-lying lands are subject, and added to their extreme fertility, makes them most desirable for the culture of semi-tropical fruits and vines, whilst at the same time they are equally as well adapted to the production of farming crops as lands in any part of the valley. In the caisson of the Santa Ana river, at the distance of 12 miles above the town of Anaheim, there is a natural dam. A ledge of rock crosses the river from bluff to bluff. All the water in the river rises and flows over this obstruction, and notwithstanding the fact that after having passed this point it soon sinks and disappears again, there is at all times of the year a large stream of water flowing over this dam. As most of the water in the river above is taken out in the Summer to irrigate lands about San Bernardino and River-side, our supply is derived from the springs heretofore described as flowing from the lower part of the upper Santa Ana river. While encomiums upon our wonderful climate are always in order, there are other equally important inducements to immigrants which ought to be dwelt upon by the Press. For instance, the laborers employed on the public works at Washington have struck, because the contractors say they can only afford to pay them $150 per day. If the thousands of laboring men in the Atlantic States were aware that in our State their services would command about double what they receive in the old States, they would naturally pour in among us. These dollar and cent arguments always strike home. Away back in the dear old State of Pennsylvania—that land of coal oil and historic associations, of bloody thirsty miners and mild-eyed Quakers, of minus workmen and Cantannial Commissioners—the snow was five feet deep on April 26th. In Annheim on the same day our record informs us that the thermometer marked 98°. The alluring contrast here presented is just what is filling our country with population. It is also a fixed fact that the new-comers will invade our country in greatly increased numbers in a few months, and that we have not the accommodations necessary for them. Therefore the Hotel Trustees are doing their level best to hurry on the building, and earnestly hope that their efforts will be seconded by the people, who are largely interested in retaining the strangers who enter our gates. The erratic Geo. Francis Train predicts trouble ahead, and backs out of the scrimmage in advance. He says: "Following repudiation and bankruptcy comes paralysis in trade, apoplexy in commerce, death to industry. Then starving workmen start the war cry, 'bread or blood!' The Beecher gang will be requested to exit. Then vigilance committee, riot, revolution, civil war,—bloody streets and burnt cities. Meanwhile I have evolved out of this. My mission is peace; my power is to save not to destroy." For many long at the distance of 12 miles above the town of Anaheim, there is a natural dam. A ledge of rock crosses the river from bluff to bluff. All the water in the river rises and flows over this obstruction, and notwithstanding the fact that after having passed this point it soon sinks and disappears again, there is at all times of the year a large stream of water flowing over this dam. As most of the water in the river above is taken out in the Summer to irrigate lands about San Bernardino and River-side, our supply is derived from the springs heretofore described as flowing from the lower part of the upper Santa Ana valley, a few miles distant. This water cannot be taken from us, and may confidently be relied upon as ample for all our needs, for all time. To properly utilize this invaluable treasure, all future ditches intended to irrigate either side of the Santa Ana river must take their water from the river at this point. And it is here that the ditch of District No. 1 commences. The ditch, which is a large one, is dug out of the solid red clay, on the north bank of the river, and at the point where it leaves the cafion and comes out into the elevated mesa lands. At this point it is one hundred feet above the river, the latter having a very rapid fall. At least three-fourths of the water will be used upon the valley lands. All that is not required for the use of the mesa lands, can here be dropped down a descent of about eighty feet perpendicular, and will be made use of for a water power, there being abundance of water to furnish power for several large factories. He is believed that no other place in this State can a water power be found, off equal volumine, in the heart of a far-flung valley, and convenient to both millwind and ocean navigation. Wonin manufacturers can buy any quantity of wool here at low rates. Thousands of tons of straw are burnt yearly to get rid of it. Paper manufacturers can buy the straw at their own price. Costur beans are now largely raised, and flax can be raised to an indefinite extent, as the crop has been tested and does well. Living is cheap; the operatives can afford to work here for less wages than in countries where living is more expensive. In short, everything is favorable for the development of a large manufacturing industry. The water power can be purchased at a cheap rate, and it will be steady and reliable. The land upon which to build the manufacturing town, can also be purchased cheaply. Everything is favorable for the introduction of manufacturing enterprises, which cannot fail, from economical reasons, to be very profitable. On the south and east of the town of Anaheim there is a large body of land—about 9,000 acres—which will form the second irrigation district. To supply this tract, the ditch of the first district will be enlarged; and as all of the tract is in the valley, this will increase the water power very largely. The remaining lands, lying west and south of these two districts, are all in the flowing artesian well district, and include the large and flourishing colonies of Westminster and Artesia, as well as a vast amount of most fertile lands not yet sold, but which are surveyed and in the market. These lands are admirably adapted to THOSE of our readers who have been leading lives not calculated to insure their entrance into the right hand portals of the world to come, would do well to stop in their unholy career and turn their attention to things colossal. One month from today, that is to say June 15th, the terrestrial sphere in which we now move breathe and have our being, will inevitably collapse, and send us poor mortals spinning at a 2:40 gait into the "beyond." This is the latest prediction of the Millerites, and nothing can be done to postpone the catastrophe. Nevertheless, the Trustees of the Hotel and Building Association of Anaheim will continue to invite subscriptions to stock in that enterprise, and should the collapse take place as predicted, they can go into eternity with the proud consciousness that to the last they faithfully performed their duty to their fellow-men. On the south and east of the town of Anaheim there is a large body of land—about 9,000 acres—which will form the second irrigation district. To supply this tract, the ditch of the first district will be enlarged; and as all of the tract is in the valley, this will increase the water power very largely. The remaining lands, lying west and south of these two districts, are all in the flowing artesian well district, and include the large and flourishing colonies of Westminster and Artesia, as well as a vast amount of fertile lands not yet sold, but which are surveyed and in the market. These lands are admirably adapted to colonies, as many thousand acres can be purchased in a body. These are the cheapest and best lands in Southern California, and can be purchased on easy terms in lots to suit, at prices ranging from $25 to $40 per acre. Most of these lands are naturally moist and on all of them artesian wells can be obtained. There is abundant proof of this, as there are now considerably over a hundred flowing wells already, and these are scattered over the entire area, and thus the whole of it is prospected and proved. The whole tract lying west of the Santa Ana and east of the New San Gabriel, and between the hills and the ocean, comprising a block of about twenty miles square lying in the centre of a great valley includes a variety of soils adapted to every kind of farming and fruit raising. Near the sea are vast meadows well supplied by springs and covered with perpetual verdure—the very finest dairy lands in the United States. In the Eastern States it requires the produce, with good cultivation, of four to six acres to support one cow. In the northern part of California, in the best dairy districts, it requires the natural growth on ten acres to support one cow; but on these lands the natural grasses will sustain from one to five cows per acre, year after year. Droughts do not affect these lands, as the rising moisture furnishes an unaffailing supply. Next to these, going back from the sea, is a broad belt of bottom land, sufficiently dry for cultivation. These are the lands for corn, barley, alfalfa and kindred crops. As we pass from the sea coast on our way to the hills, the valley rises with an ascending grade of 18 feet to the mills, so that although the character of the soil varies but little, the gradually in- NEW ADVERTISEMENT Special Notice.

We were told of an incident the other day which goes to show most conclusively what we have time and again asserted, that with industry and increasing elevation varies the adaptability of the soil to different crops, and at the same time, contiguity to, or distance from the coast varies the climate, which although good in all parts of the valley, possesses a great variety. Any one can find in some part of it a soil and climate adapted to any crop or almost any disease. CROP PROSPECTS. WASHINGTON, May 10.—During the past week the condition of Winter wheat in three hundred and thirty counties has been reported to the Department of Agriculture. About three hundred counties of the valleys of the Ohio and Missouri are represented, which last year produced 70,000,000 bushels, or sixty per cent. of the product of seven States, from Ohio to Kansas. The average condition of these States is 63 per cent., indicating only five-eighths of a fall-crop, if no improvement occurs. In Kentucky 75 per cent.; Ohio, 57; Michigan, 63; Indiana, 66; Illinois, 63; Missouri, 59; Kansas, 87, though only thirty-two counties in the latter State are represented. The condition is better in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, though below an average. A few wheat counties in New York make extremely unfavorable returns. PHILADELPHIA, May 12.—The Press of this morning says in review of reports from all parts of Pennsylvania, that owing to severe frost and the late spring, much of the existing wheat crop has been killed. The season is delayed eight or ten weeks, and careful enquiries lead to the belief that not over a half crop will be gathered, and even this amount depends on the continuance of dry weather. LONDON, May 12.—The Mark Lane Express to-day says the late rains have done immense good. The warm weather following almost promises to do away with the evil of its lateness.
