On last Saturday, Judge Blake, of the Municipal Court at San Francisco, sentenced John J. Marks to imprisonment in the State Prison for the term of seven years. The crime, for which Marks has now to suffer, is embezzling funds while holding the position of Harbor Commissioner. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. The ninth edition of "All about California," a pamphlet published by the California Immigrant Union for gratuitous distribution, is just out. We would suggest a careful revision of the "information" contained in the pamphlet before another edition is sent to press. The following sentence, for instance, requires reconstruction: "Excepting a small railroad twenty miles long at Los Angeles, there is no railroad in the State south of Santa Clara county." Some sailors of the English ship Euzine, are to be tried at Singapore for the crime of murder. It seems that the Euzine was wrecked and abandoned by the crew, who for weeks drifted helplessly upon the ocean. Their provisions being exhausted, it was decided to draw lots to determine which one of their number should die that the balance might live. The unlucky one quietly submitted to his fate, and his body furnished sustenance to the sailors until their rescue. And now, after having passed through sufferings, which to most people would seem to be worse than death, they are to wrestle with prospective death in another form. LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS. No. 2. EDITORS GAZETTE:—I hardly know just where to commence my suggestions, for there is very much to be done. But that our visitors and others may be able to move about our beautiful village with ease and comfort, and that our citizens may have free access to one another's homes, and not lose their tempers in wading through dust or in jumping mud-puddles, or fording uncovered ditches, the condition of our sidewalks and streets demands first attention. Our ditches are the arteries of life to this place; without them, our town would soon return to the barrenness of the plains, from which, by the use of water, it was recovered. Yet like all good things our ditches have an unpleasant feature. There is a vast amount of sand brought down by the water, and when the ditches are cleaned the sand fills up our streets. This is the thorn of the rose. By the abundance of sand thus cast in upon us, walking is made very unpleasant. Heavy, well-made and high-cut shoes are essential to the comfort of pedestrians. Poor shoes leak sand as badly as they would water, did one walk in it. To people who are used to country roads, and to those of us who have been here a long time, these inconveniences are philosophically borne. Nevertheless they are inconveniences still. Our ladies love to dress in the prevailing styles of other centers, but no costume but the Bloomer style is appropriate to Anaheim, and to this top boots should be added. Just think of thin shoes and long trails finding a path through our streets, where either sand or the waste water of ditches fills the road? Think of yourselves, Messrs.

More than half the American claims have been decided, most of the claims being rejected, and the total awards amounted to less than one million dollars. About one hundred thousand dollars have been so far awarded on the Mexican side and the docket is three-fourths disposed of. The final results of judgment by the Commission will not reach enormous amounts on either side. In a communication directed to their agent in Los Angeles, Mr. H. McLellan, Messrs. Goodall, Nelson & Perkins contradict the item which has gone the rounds of the press to the effect that the license of Captain Fake had been revoked. They call attention to the fact that it is a usage in such cases to "break" an officer, who has lost a ship, for a period of six months. "Breaking," in such cases, is merely equivalent to suspension, and is dealt out to the captain even where his efforts have been meritorious. They also say that the statement that the Board before whom Captain Fake had been called had convicted that gentleman of negligence is premature, as they, even, have not yet been made acquainted with its findings. A CORRESPONDENT of the Downey Courier, writing about irrigation, says that while the Bush Bill is a move in the right direction, it utterly fails to meet the requirements of the whole people, or to cover the broad ground of the principal or required system of irrigation, or the utilization of water for agricultural purposes. He says: "The Bush Bill can only apply to unappropriated water, as I understand it. One or two amendments, in my judgment, is in order; first, the law should apply to all water (except roads, and to those of us who have been here a long time, these inconveniences are philosophically borne. Nevertheless they are inconveniences still. Our ladies love to dress in the prevailing styles of other centers, but no costume but the Bloomer style is appropriate to Anaheim, and to this top boots should be added. Just think of thin shoes and long trails finding a path through our streets, where either sand or the waste water of ditches fills the road? Think of yourselves, Messrs. Editors, in your younger days, with finely polished boots, the work of a patient half-hour, and that best black suit, hastening, on some beautiful moonlight night, to the home of a maiden fair — consider the vexation and disappointment which came over your soul, as you surveyed yourself in the parlor of your dulcinea, and found the shine of your broadcloth and the polish of your boots hopelessly gone, because of the sand and mud you vainly sought to avoid! One of the first matters attended to in newly created cities is to legislate on street improvements; to build sidewalks and cross-walks in the most frequented portions of the place; and every year the walks are extended towards the suburbs. At first one side of a street is supplied, and afterwards both sides. Now this is what is needed here: We need immediately sidewalks of uniform level on both sides of our business streets, thus supplying a district included in a distance one-quarter of a mile from the post-office. Besides this, the sidewalks on one side of Centre street should be extended to the depot. For a first attempt, such a provision would be a great advantage, a great comfort and would fully repay the outlay in the advance of property thus improved, in the comfort of all our citizens and in securing a reputation as a public-spirited and generous community. At the proper time, as the thickly settled parts of our village are extended, the sidewalk district could follow. Closely connected with this, is the condition of the streets themselves. We have all learned something of the ravages of gophers. Not least among their annoying habits is the channels they open between our streets and the inside of the ditches. The return of water is not frequent enough to keep these passages closed. The consequence is that there is not only a large wasteage of water, but also our streets are made muddy, and in many places pools are formed which frequently remain until the next time the water comes. The gophers are mainly to blame for this unpleasant condition of our streets. There is another circumstance, however, which aggravates the trouble, and for which the little pests are not to blame. The continual plunging of sand on the road side of the ditches has created a hollow or sunken surface in the roads, which forms a natural channel for the overflowing or receding water. The remedy for this North of this rises up to the range of mountains on land is warm, lacking nothing for irrigation to enable for the cultivation fruits and whole range of ordinary farm land is now irrigated by the whole 30,000 hectares if it ditch small—was enclosed and extended to rural drainage; presence of some trees that distance, dam, it is called the water of Sunk in the sand an abundant size large tract off Imperatively must be traced head, where it lies.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Downey Courier, writing about irrigation, says that while the Bush Bill is a move in the right direction, it utterly fails to meet the requirements of the whole people, or to cover the broad ground of the principal or required system of irrigation, or the utilization of water for agricultural purposes. He says: "The Bush Bill can only apply to unappropriated water, as I understand it. One or two amendments, in my judgment, is in order; first, the law should apply to all water (except navigable streams) and all previously acquired water rights (except artesian wells) and condemned by a Board of State commissioners appointed for the purpose, to be held by the State in trust for the people, for the purpose of irrigation, manufacturing, etc., and the same to be utilized and controlled by a Board of water commissioners in each county, appointed by the governor of the State. I suggest this plan, and wait for some one to propose something better." One of the most attractive features of Semi-Tropical California is the marvelous rapidity with which a cactus-coated tract of land can be converted into a garden, blooming with every species of flora known to botanists. The handsome grounds, surrounding the residence of Mr. and Mrs. L. Parker, are an evidence of the prolific capabilities of the soil, when cultivated with intelligence. Apple trees, only one year old from the graft, have attained a height of six feet, and some give promise of bearing fruit. Italian cypress trees, planted in 1872, and which were only about three feet high at that date, are now fully sixteen feet. Mr. Parker received from Illinois several orchid-plants, and one year after transplanting they were seen by a prominent nurseryman of that State, who averved that their growth in one year was greater than could be expected in Illinois in four years. Many other remarkable growths can be seen on the Parker grounds, which were we to particularize, would ruin our hard-earned reputation for veracity. One other suggestion in this connection, and that is, our ditches within the bounds of the village at least, should all be bridged. It is evident that in the early life of this place but little could be afforded for such a luxury, but it does seem as if this community had been thumped and bumped enough—had been pitched and jerked sufficiently, and that it is high time to abate this nuisance. If it be Christian duty to keep out of temptation, it surely will be called a Christian act to remove a present and frequent cause of bad feeling, and an occasion to use words not found in our dictionaries. This all may seem to demand a good deal of private parties for public good, but he has only a narrow grasp of true and permanent advantage or gain, who cannot see that all such outsiders more than pay for themselves in advanced real estate, in adding to these passages closed. The consequence is that there is not only a large wasteage of water, but also our streets are made muddy, and in many places pools are formed which frequently remain until the next time the water comes. The gophers are mainly to blame for this unpleasant condition of our streets. There is another circumstance, however, which aggravates the trouble, and for which the little pests are not to blame. The continual piling of sand on the road side of the ditches has created a hollow or sunken surface in the roads, which forms a natural channel for the overflowing or escaping water. The remedy for this annoyance is two-fold. Let it be understood that all sand taken from ditches is to be thrown on the vineyard side of the ditch, and never on the side next to the road. The ditches themselves take already too much from the width of the streets. Of course the proper hight of the ditch on the side next to the road is to be maintained to sufficiently raise it, and so secure the desired level; but all surplus sand should be cast toward the vineyard. Then let the village, by some plan agreed upon, keep our roads all well turn-piked, either by road tax, or by each land owner attending to his share of the road, or by contract—any way to get it done. This improvement would forever prevent the absurd and unnecessary deluging of our streets wherever the water happened to flow. Gopher holes would do no damage, and whatever leakage occurred would be towards the vineyards, where the water is wanted, instead of towards the streets where it is not wanted.

In establishing the view here presented, the writer desires to call attention to the fact that very recently a wealthy family from a northern city came to our place designing to remain all summer, but found the walks and the drives so marred by just such unpleasant things, which these suggestions would seek to remove, that they decided to cut short the visit and return to more attractive surroundings. How many have been kept away who designating to stay, not a summer only, but intending to take up a permanent residence among us, he has no means of knowing. This is the time of great immigration. Communities are being formed all around us. Some towns are already making great strides, and unless we look to our laurels they will soon be far ahead of us. We cannot too soon take up the matter of internal improvements, nor can we too soon begin those plans which shall place us far in advance of every other town in attractiveness, in beauty, in public spirit, and in common sense. Very Truly Your, PRO BONO PUBLICO. IRRIGATION IN SEMI-TROPICAL CALIFORNIA. No. 5. My last referred to the lands and ditches lying on the west side of the Santa Ana river. In this I will describe the fine country lying east of the river. Commencing at the sea coast, we find a belt of elevated table lands, reaching from the bank of the river eastward, rising in their progress in that direction into lofty hills. This belt is three or four miles wide. Immediately north of this is an equally broad belt of clenega lands, full of large, deep-seated springs, all of which is perpetually moist and green, making the very finest kind of dairy lands. This belt is quite extensive, extending in an easterly direction from the Santa Ana river 10 to 12 miles in length, with a width of 3 to 4 miles, and is a part of the previously described belt on the east side of the Santa Ana valley, the whole belt having a length of AROUND THE COUNTY. Sheriff Rowland is a father. J. T. Lanfranco, of Los Angeles, died on Thursday of last week. The Democratic County Committee meet in Los Angeles on June 5th.

Mr. Charles McLean sold yesterday to Mr. French of the San Joaquin ranch, his two horses on Turner street, near Alameda, for $1,800. It is a good investment for Mr. French as the property pays about 26% per cent gross and nets over 20 per cent—Herald.

About fifty men were employed one of them performing the remark- The Committee of the New York Board of Trade and others, including the New York Postmaster, will at once confer with the Postmaster-General in regard to the repeal of the infamous postal law. It is reported that the German Ambassador at Brussels has been instructed to request the Belgian government to prohibit religious processions. The object is a maneuver to overthrow the Belgian Cabinet. The Alameda Encinal says: "We are credibly informed that a Haywood lady, a Mrs. O'Niel, gave birth to three healthy boy babies last Saturday morning, each weighing ten pounds. At last accounts mother and children were doing well. Alameda county is prolific—of that there need be no further doubt." Dispatches from Council Bluffs, Iowa say: Advices which have been received from a large number of towns in the State say that no ravages have been committed by the grasshoppers and no danger is anticipated to the crop. They were never in better condition, nor were the prospects for an immense yield ever more favorable. A dispatch dated Memphis, May 24th, says: Business is suspended to-day in observance of the memorial services at Elmwood. Since 8 o'clock this morning the streets have been crowded with people. The procession now forming is the largest ever seen here except perhaps, the funeral services of Gen. Lee. Ex-Federal soldiers have almost to a man turned out, and in the ranks are seen tattered battle flags of both Federal and Confederate armies. At no time since the close of the war has there been seen such genuine intermingling of blue and gray as presented here to-day. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS NOTICE.

LOST between Anahilim and Anahimim Landing on the night of the 26th a diary, con- find a belt of elevated table lands, reaching from the bank of the river eastward, rising in their progress in that direction into lofty hills. This belt is three or four miles wide. Immediately north of this is an equally broad belt of clenega lands, full of large, deep-seated springs, all of which are perpetually moist and green, making the very finest kind of dairy lands. This belt is quite extensive, extending in an easterly direction from the Santa Ana river 10 to 12 miles in length, with a width of 3 to 4 miles, and is part of the previously described belt on the east side of the Santa Ana valley, the whole belt having a length of not less than 30 miles, by an average of 4 broad. Dairymen should notice this fact, that the valley of the Santa Ana river contains not less than 120 square miles of perpetual green pastures. These lands cannot be matched for productiveness in the United States, or any where else. Those portions of this clenega, that are sufficiently dry for cultivation, produce enormous crops of corn, beets, pumpkins, alfalfa, etc. The only objection that can be made to any part of these lands, is that portions of them are rather too wet, and should be drained. Where this has been done, the productiveness of the whole belt will be as great a marvel as is that of the Gospel Swamp, and such other portions as are now cultivated. North of this belt the land gradually rises up to the base of the Santa Ana range of mountains, which bound the valley on the north. This tract of land is warm, fertile and productive, lacking nothing but a supply of water for irrigation to make it most desirable for the cultivation of semi-tropical fruits and vines, and also for the range of temperate fruits, and ordinary farming crops. Part of this land is now irrigated by a ditch, and the whole 30,000 to 40,000 acres could be, if the ditch—which is now far too small—was enlarged to a proper size, and extended up the river to the natural dam, previously described, a distance of some three miles. In flowing that distance, after passing over the dam, it is calculated that one-half of the water of the river is lost, having sunk in the sand; therefore, to obtain an abundant supply of water for the large tract of land requiring it, it is imperative necessary that the supply should be taken from the fountain head, where it is in abundance. If the people of Orange, Santa Ana and Tustin will organize under the provisions of the irrigation law, purchase the present ditches, and enlarge them to a proper size, their already very desirable country will present attractions that will be surpassed by no part of Semi-Tropical California. The above named settlements have already obtained a considerable population of the right kind of people, but these are only the advance guard of what are coming, and they should look ahead and provide water, not only for the present population, but for that which is coming in the immediate future. Every settlement in this section should endeavor to make their respective localities as desirable as possible. Our future increase of population, which is another word for our future prosperity, depends upon this; and the only rival baptism in the ocean was witnessed by a number of persons down here at Wilmington last Sunday. The minister officiating was Rev. W. A. Spurlock, of the M.E. Church South, and the candidate was a young lady student of Wilmington College.—Wilmington Enterprise. C.B. Keys, of this place, has been over to Clemente Island superintending sheep-shearing. He says sheared about 17,000 head—some 5,000 escaping; it being impossible to corral them, on account of their being so wild. The clip is in excellent condition. About fifty men were employed—one of them performing the remarkable feat of shearing 118 sheep in one day—Wilmington Enterprise. T.A. Garey writes to the Herald as follows: "J.M. Hamilton, Worthy Master of the State Grange of California, will be in Los Angeles on or before the 7th of June. While here he will organize a county or "Pomona" Grange, to work in the fifth degree of the Order. The County Grange will take the place of the District Council. Should any of the Granges of Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo or Kern counties desire to organize County Granges I am authorized to say that brother Hamilton will organize them on his way North after organizing Los Angeles County Grange. Masters of Granges in the above counties desirous of organizing can address brother Hamilton at Los Angeles. On Thursday night of last week three disastrous fires occurred in Los Angeles. The furniture and carpet warrooms of Dotter & Bradley, on Main street, were totally destroyed. The stock was valued at $24,000, and was insured for $14,000. The damage to the building is about $4,000. Immediately after subduing this fire, another alarm was sounded. It was found that the brick stable of W.H. Stoddard, corner of Fort and Franklin streets was in flames. This was also subdued, but not until two valuable horses were burned. No sooner had the second fire been squelched than it was found that the hay in the city stables was on fire. This, however, was speedily smothered. It is believed that all the fires were the work of incendiaries. The citizens have formed a "Committee of Public Safety" and incendiaries will have short shrift if caught. The Board of Underwriters of San Francisco have offered a reward of one thousand dollars for the arrest and conviction of any one committing arson in Los Angeles county. The Common Council have also offered a reward of five hundred dollars. They also appointed a committee to confer with the Board of Supervisors in regard to the purchase of a first-class fire engine. NEWS IN BRIEF. The graves of the Union dead in several cemeteries will be decorated today. In the region of Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania, 100 miles of forest has been burned. General Alfred Redington, a well-known Californian, died in San Francisco last Saturday." THE COMING WATER ELECTION. The coming election of Irrigation District No. 2 will take place in Anaheim on Saturday, June 5th, 1875. It is of great importance to those who want the water that they should organize, and decide upon who they will support for Commissioners and overseer for said district. The offices to be filled are important, and require the selection of the very best men in the district. They must be intelligent, energetic, responsible; and they must be endowed with sufficient public spirit to induce them to devote a portion of their time for the benefit of the public. This ditch is indispensable to the future prosperity of the country lying south and east of Anaheim. Most of the land included in its boundaries is of little value without water; but with water it is equal to any land in the valley. Now is the time to get the water. The enlargement of the present ditch, made this summer, can be made at a comparatively small cost now, before the ditch of District No. 1 is finished; but hereafter, when that ditch has been finished, and in use, it will be difficult, and, in fact, almost impossible to get an opportunity to make the enlargement. Besides, one flume can now be made for both ditches; next year that cannot be done. It is quite certain that the ditch will cost about one-half as much this year as it will next. It has got to be made. The land must have the water, and those interested must not suffer the present opportunity to be lost. ONE WHO FAVORS PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. NEWS IN BRIEF. The graves of the Union dead in several cemeteries will be decorated today. In the region of Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania, 100 miles of forest has been burned.

Leiva, the notorious betrayer of Vasquez, has been discharged from custody. He will go to Chile. Thirty-five thousand Masons will be present at the dedication of the Masonic Temple in New York on Wednesday. A Sedalia, Missouri, dispatch says three members of a family named Finley died of starvation in Cooper county last week. At the town of Julanburg, province of Tyrol, seventy-six Catholic pilgrims were drowned in the river at that place. J. C. Lamon, the oldest settler of Yosomite, died Saturday evening at his old winter cabin in the valley near "Grand Yosemite Fall." Mrs. Lincoln is confined in the insane asylum at Batavia. She attempted to take poison the other day but was prevented. Cardinal McClosky has been presented with a diamond cross worth $20,000, by a young lady pupil of St. Vincent Institute, New York. Missouri is about the only State that has suffered any from grasshoppers. They are small and have done but little damage elsewhere. Pardinand Dumlerhoffer, Receiving Teller of Germania-National Bank, at New Orleans, is in prison for embezzling $150,000. Three men were killed at the Stanton mine, in Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, and two men at the Plymouth mine, Saturday. The Secretary of War has given permission to the Southern Memorial Association and their friends to enter Arlington Cemetery June 1st, and decorate the Confederate graves.
