Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY JULY 17, 1875. THE DAILY "GAZETTE." In response to the urgent solicitation of many of the citizens of Anaheim, the proprietors of the Gazette have decided to issue a daily paper, if upon an active canvass they meet with sufficient encouragement. To the merchant, the advertising facilities afforded by a daily newspaper are well known and appreciated, and we believe that we can rely on the hearty and liberal advertising patronage of every business man in the community. To the general reader, the freshly written local items, and the daily telegraphic news from all parts of the world, possess sufficient attraction to make a daily paper a necessity. We have carefully studied the situation and believe that a daily publication is required by the increasing importance of the community, and if our conclusions are correct, the Daily Gazette will in a very few weeks be a welcome visitant to the homes of our citizens. FARMING IN SEMI-TROPICAL CALIFORNIA. No. 6. HOFS AND TOBACCO Are two other products that do well in most parts of the State and which seem especially adapted to our soil and climate. HOFS Have been tested in two localities in this section with extremely favorable results. Last season, plants of the second year, near Anaheim, produced at 321 cents per pound over four hundred dollars per acre. The quality of the product is first-class; the effect of our equable climate in the gradual ripening or maturing of all kinds of plants is such that they arrive at a perfection which they do not attain. When fairly treated, they invariably live up to their contracts. Owing to the absence of rain, the cotton is of most dazzling whiteness; the fibre is finer and the staple longer than that of the cotton of the same variety produced anywhere in the Mississippi valley. At least this is said by experts whose long experience qualifies them to judge. It has been tested in this valley with decided success, but it was found that there were many other crops which were equally or even more profitable, and were less trouble to grow and market. HEMP Has been tested on a small scale and made a wonderful growth, and there is no question as to its being adapted to our soil and climate, but whether it can be made to pay is yet to be ascertained. FLAX Has proved a profitable crop in many parts of this State when grown for the seed alone, and is particularly so when a paper mill is sufficiently near to make a market for the straw. The crop of seed varies from 1,000 to 2,000 bushels per acre, which at the standing price, will make a crop yield from $30 to $60 per acre. When the straw can be disposed of for sufficient to pay expenses, the crop pays well. RAMIE Grows well in our valley, but as yet has only been experimented with. The fibre is the best and strongest known. Many parties are testing it, but as yet no practical results have been obtained, but those who are engaged in its culture think that it will not only be successful, but exceedingly profitable. OUR MARKET At present is San Francisco, which takes all of our surplus of oranges and other semi-tropical fruits, as well as most of our surplus grain and other farm produce, but we are to have an immense market opened to us in the great desert basin lying north and east of the Sierra Madre mountains, which bound our valley on the north. For several years a considerable portion of our corn and barley has been consumed by the teamsters, hauling supplies to, and bullion from, these mines, only a small portion of which have been worked. But within a few months organization. The McFadden San Francisco once the time your parish discharging her ferry Landing.

HOOPS Have been tested in two localities in this section with extremely favorable results. Last season, plants of the second year, near Anaheim, produced at 321 cents per pound over four hundred dollars per acre. The quality of the product is first-class; the effect of our equitable climate in the gradual ripening or maturing of all kinds of plants is such that they arrive at a perfection which they do not attain in the more rapid maturation of other climates and shorter seasons. The expense of cultivating hops consists in the cost of plants and poles and the preparation of the ground. The first year the yield is expected to pay expenses; on the second, the crop is large and continues annually to increase. In this section the crop seems absolutely certain and the only uncertainty about the crop seems to be the market price, which ranges from 60 cents per pound down to less than the cost of gathering and preparing the crop. California hops have this advantage, however, one pound being considered equal to three pounds produced elsewhere. Notwithstanding the above mentioned uncertainty, the immense margin of profit, in seasons of favorable prices, is such that all those who have gone into hop culture and stuck to it have got rich; still, as the market is sometimes uncertain, it is safer to make the hop crop one of many others. The prudent farmer cultivates many crops, some of which are sure to pay and to make up for the deficiencies of the others, and does not "put all of his eggs in one basket." TOBACCO Has been cultivated in California since its first settlement by the Spaniards, more than a century ago, and is perhaps one of the most certain and productive crops that are cultivated. Its production is in fact so easy and certain that it would now be one of the great staples of the country, but for the fact that the difference in our climate necessitates a variation from the established processes of curing that are in vogue in the countries where it is now a staple production, or in other words, the curing process has got to be adapted to the climate. The Culp process, by means of which the Consolidated Tobacco Company of Gilroy cure their tobacco, seems to be a decided step in the right direction. As a test of its quality, tobacco cured by this process was sent to the Louisville, Ky., market and sold from 80 to 100 per cent. higher than any other tobacco in that market. Quality is everything in tobacco, and it is believed that when the process of curing has been perfected, that California will attain the same preeminence in the production of tobacco that she already has in the production of wheat. The tendency of our climate and soil is to perfection both in the animal and vegetable kingdom. Tobacco makes in Semi-tropical California a most remarkable growth, plants having attained a size of from 8 to 10 feet in height with leaves 3 feet long by 20 inches wide, which when at present is San Francisco, which takes all of our surplus of oranges and other semi-tropical fruits, as well as most of our surplus grain and other farm produce, but we are to have an immense market opened to us in the great desert basin lying north and east of the Sierra Madre mountains, which bound our valley on the north. For several years a considerable portion of our corn and barley has been consumed by the teamsters, hauling supplies to, and bullion from these mines, only a small portion of which have been worked. But within a few months railroads, now being actively constructed, will, by affording cheap transportation, render possible the working of hundreds of mines who have heretofore lain idle on account of the immense cost of transportation. Within the next two years these mines and those of Arizona will take all of our surplus products, and then we will have nearly a home market for what we have to sell, and we will not be obliged to ship to San Francisco, and compete in that often glutted market with the balance of the State. This tremendous market will really belong to us, as we will be the nearest point of supply, and the value of such a market will be better appreciated when it is known that the country in question is an utter desert, producing nothing except the precious metals, and will be entirely dependent upon us for meat, grain, hay, vegetables, butter, cheese, fruits, and, in fact, for everything in the way of supplies for man and beast. This mining country is so extensive and will contain such a large population of miners that the productive lands of this valley will, within a very few years, be taxed to their utmost capacity to furnish the needed supplies. OUR PRESENT FACILITIES FOR SHIPMENT Are not excelled by those of any part of the coast of California and are superior to most. At present all of our produce and all of our merchandise and lumber is shipped and received by sea. Various points on our sea coast are so well protected from the prevailing winds by projecting headlands and outlying islands, that the force of the waves is broken and wharves are readily built out into the sea to deep water. Ships and car must be brought together, which can only be done by wharves built out to deep water. One of these is now nearly completed and when finished will have sufficient depth at its pier-head for the largest ship navigating the Pacific ocean to lie safely at and discharge or receive freight. This is only one of many that must be built to furnish the needed facilities for the dense population that will soon occupy this fertile valley, the present inhabitants of which are just now awakening to a dim perception of the magnificent future that is dawning upon them.

Quality is everything in tobacco, and it is believed that when the process of curing has been perfected, that California will attain the same preeminence in the production of tobacco that she already has in the production of wheat. The tendency of our climate and soil is to perfection both in the animal and vegetable kingdom. Tobacco makes in Semi-tropical California a most remarkable growth, plants having attained a size of from 8 to 10 feet in height with leaves 3 feet long by 20 inches wide, which when dried, were as thin, soft and pliant as a fine kid glove. Hero the plant is perennial and yields three cuttings in each season. More than 3,000 pounds per acre have been produced on a tract of 8 acres in Anaheim, and this rate of production can reasonably be calculated upon good soil any where in this section. The plant may be said to have no enemies; the worm does but little damage and the crop is destined to become one of our great staples when the curing process is perfect, which is as yet far from having been done. The certainty of such a large yield, together with the high price and limitless market for first-class tobacco, will, when the best system of curing has been perfected, make tobacco the most profitable crop of all those which have been enumerated. Think of a crop which will produce a gross yield of more than one thousand dollars per acre, which can be cultivated and grown up to the point when curing commences at but little more expense than that of a crop of corn. The inventor of that perfect process of curing has an immense reward awaiting him. TEXTILE CROPS. Cotton has been tested in Southern California with such successful results that in some places it has been adopted as the staple crop, superceding corn and wheat. The yield is about double the average yield of the cotton growing States, whilst the cost of production and gathering is about 50 per cent less. The cost of preparing land is the same as for corn, and after planting the seed and thinning the plants to a proper stand, nothing more in the way of attendance or cultivation is required until picking time commences, when gauge of Chinamen are employed. These are far more reliable than the negro and being steady and industrious are really cheaper. SANTA ANA NOTES. Business Activity---New Churches---Newport Harbor---Political Gossip. EDS. GAZETTE.—Judge O'Melveny, of Los Angeles, J. C. Hickey and Dr. M. S. Jones, of this place, have bought the property here, commonly known as the "Fickus" property, consisting of ten lots with improvements. They intend to construct dwelling houses for the purpose of renting. This shows that not only the moneyed men of this place, but the shrewd capitalists of other cities have abundant faith in the future of Santa Ana, and prove it by investing their capital here at every opportunity. A joint stock company is being formed here for the purpose of buying the hotel property and starting a first class hotel. Three-fifths of the capital stock has been subscribed, and no doubt, before you go to print, the entire amount will be raised, and our new hotel will be an assured fact. The Baptists and Methodists are moving actively in securing money for the purpose of erecting churches. I understand that the first-named organization secured nearly one thousand dollars last week. The regular Methodists and the Methodist Church South have united in their efforts to secure a place of worship, and are succeeding well.

The McFadden steamer was to leave San Francisco on the 10th inst., and by the time your paper is issued, will be discharging her first cargo at Newport Landing. The wharf is being enlarged and will soon be commodious enough for all business purposes. Sailing yachts are kept by the Wilson Bros. for pleasure parties, at reasonable rates. For the information of your young people who enjoy the sea air, I will inform you that the road from Santa Ana to the Landing is in splendid condition, and is being constantly improved by heavy grading, so that the road will be as passable in the winter as at any other time of the year. Congressman Houghton has pledged himself to use his best endeavors to obtain a suitable appropriation for the improvement of Newport harbor. It is believed, by capable authority, that a better harbor can be made at Newport with less cost than at Wilmington. Speaking of our Congressional nominee, reminds us of the triangular contest that will be upon us in September. The people of Santa Ana believe that the real contest will be between the Republican and Democratic nominees, with the chances largely in favor of the former. To us, down in this part of the county, the Independent movement seems to have but little strength—except on paper. The proceedings of the Independents at Los Angeles, the other day, reminded us of the proceedings of some of the so-called Liberal Republican meetings in 1872. This meeting pursued some of the tactics pursued by the defunct "sorehead" party—one of which I will mention. They publish names—because they happen to be respectable—without authority, thus trying to identify them with the Independent party. Mr. Granville Spurgeon, one of our most respected citizens, was thus published, appointing him a Judge of their primary election, and appointing the election to be held at Spurgeon's store. "Gran" says that if he "ever was an Independent, he did not know it." The Republicans of Santa Ana will vote for T. Guy Phelps for Governor, and S. O. Houghton for Congress. The Democrats will vote for Irwin for Governor, but many of them will vote for Houghton for Congress. There will be Mr Shillaber, the First Officer of the Senate, has perfected a plan for building residences which will revolutionize the whole business. The cost by Mr Shillaber's process is materially diminished.—Express. John James Cassidy, the telegraph operator, who committed suicide at Oakland a few days ago, has sent to County Clerk Potts for his transfer, so that he may cast his vote at the ensuing election. This reminds us that Mr. Cassidy did not succeed in killing himself when he made the attempt by swallowing a large dose of cold poison.—Express. The circus has come and gone, and the young idea is now filled with tights and spangles, with bare backed horses and ground and lofty tumblings, with Mr Merryman and his antics and a sea of sawdust illuminated by a flood of gasoline. If these were the only effects of the passage through our county of the circus, we might fall back on the pleasures of memory and join young America in their happy musings. But we hear that an incident has just transpired which is destined to cast a deep gloom over a whole family, and that the daughter of a citizen of a neighboring town eloped this morning with one of the spangled performers of the circus. The story, as it comes to us, is as follows: A girl about seventeen years of age having been to the show, when it performed in her town, begged leave yesterday to go to Los Angeles for the purpose of procuring some needed articles. She was entrusted to a friend of the family, who brought her here, and they both put up at one of our hotels. During last evening the attaches of the hotel noticed suspicious communications between the girl and one of the young men who did the graceful somersaults in the ring. The girl told her protector at an early hour that she would retire, as she felt weary. This morning, the girl not having put in an appearance at the proper time, her bedroom door was opened,and it was found that the bird had flown. Inquiry developed the suspicious events of the previous evening, and it is now believed that the girl eloped with the spangled gentleman, leaving here on one of the early stages. Eilorts will be made to overtake, and bring her back.—Express. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS If you want a good cigar call at Blanken's Drug Store. Free Lunch.

"Gran" says that if he "ever was an Independent, he did not know it." The Republicans of Santa Ana will vote for T. Guy Phelps for Governor, and S. O. Houghton for Congress. The Democrats will vote for Irwin for Governor, but many of them will vote for Houghton for Congress. There will be very few Independent votes cast, except on the county and legislative tickets. The people of Spring district, which includes Santa Ana town, have arisen in their might, and petitioned our County School Superintendent to appoint the man of their choice to the vacancy which occurred in the Board of Trustees on the last Saturday in June, and which ought to have been filled at that time, as provided by law, by election, which will, no doubt, give these petty servants of the people to understand that their wishes are bound to be respected. Through the arbitrary dictation of one of the members of the Board, and the good natured imbecility of the other two, an election by the people was defeated on the last Saturday in June. A petition was started to request the remaining members of the Board to resign, on account of their direlection of duty in office, but it was found that such an action had no effect in law, but that, in order to effect anything, the people would have to apply to the nearest district court in order to make a complaint against a school trustee for malfeasance in office, and it was concluded that, as the terms of office of the remaining members would soon expire, it was determined to leave their punishment to the conscience of an outraged people at the expiration of their term of office, in case they should have the hardihood to appear before the people for re-election.
