anaheim-gazette 1875-10-23

A NEW VOLUME. The present number of the Weekly Gazette begins the sixth volume. The vast improvements which have been made in the paper during the past year has resulted in its circulation being nearly doubled, and has amply repaid us for the money and labor expended in bringing it up to its present standard. We honestly believe that no paper in the State is so thoroughly en rapport with its readers; and we certainly know that our endeavors to promote the interests of this county, and our honest desire to do those things which we believed it to be our duty to do, has made us a legion of friends, whose well-wishes we hope to retain for all time to come. ANAHEIM'S INTEREST IN THE LANDING. When the prospect for a railroad to Anaheim became an assured fact, every merchant and business-man felt a sense of relief, knowing that cheaper freights between this place and the outer world would follow. The value of competition is also illustrated in the effect Santa Monica Landing had upon the price of passage from Los Angeles to the anchorage at San Pedro, reducing the fare from two dollars and a half to fifty cents. The Lighter Company at Anaheim Landing have advertised a decrease of lighterage to $1 50. Yet even this healthy state of things, resulting from the competition of steamboat and railroad, will soon cease, if something be not done to render the Landing more accessible. LETTER FROM SANTA ANA. The Elecline--A Chivalrous Attack--News Hama--Progress of the Country. The election passed off quietly yesterday, 181 votes being polled in this precinct. Carr (Rep.) 91, Rev. O. P. Fitzgerald (Dem.) 85, for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Orange preelnet, Carr 69, Fitzgerald 21. For Justice of the Peace, in Santa Ana, Humphreys received 103 votes, Johnson 96, Marshall 95. Orange: Marshall 83, Humphreys 38, Johnson 22. Old Santa Ana, Humphreys and Marshall 5 votes each, Johnson 2; thus giving our Centennial magistrates the respectable majorities of 25 for Humphreys and 62 for Marshall. Dick Barham was in town last week, but he was not electioneering this time. The Democrats of this place are trying to derive some cold comfort from the result of the late elections in the East, but don't know exactly where to find it. They tried to find it in Ohio, but as inflation was not the main issue there, and the balance of the States went Republican, they can only cipher comfort out of a very lively imagination. It is "dangerous to be safe" for you to travel in the region of the willows. At least so thought Mr. and Mrs. Hubbell of this place, who were travelling through that classic region some days ago, when they were attacked by a lunatic, who assailed them with clods, clubs, stones and bones, finally striking Mrs. Hubbell on the shoulder with the jaw bone of a bronco, from the effects of which she has been disabled ever since. Mr. Hubbell jumped out of the wagon, and caught the gentleman and turned him over his knee, since which time the bravo has been hunting a soft place to sit down on. We met a former subscriber to the Gazette the other day. "Hello," says he, "did you know that I'd stopped the Gazette?" "No, how's that?" SOUTHERN CITY Contrasted with Florida Malaria cannest Prairie Value of Land. EDR. GAZETTE:—be said in praise of Southern California very few words from about New Smyrna in her semi-tropical climate mild enough write with open sleeves, at Christmas but what followed stinging. What was that back—land only one Ab! cheap enough. There is a drawback I cannot get as good law for less than $25, $30, I studied out, in a shoal son I think. It is one change. Messrs. Editors, whion I propose to draw between Florida and Coast,satisfactory to all it that we have larger and will keep it if necessary. Beginning at Point lose the chilliness of trade winds. The coast to the East-south-east territory on the East proper, but broken by some quite elevated we learn from Maury rains come from the tween us and the North are sure of no very roaring winds. Again, we have trade-winds, in Summer W. Pacific, and in Winter W. Pacific. We can have rains from the East o'f California. Here Whilst from Arizona vers prevail in consequent rains, we will never of competition is also illustrated in the effect Santa Monica Landing had upon the price of passage from Los Angeles to the anchorage at San Pedro, reducing the fare from two dollars and a half to fifty cents. The Lighter Company at Anaheim Landing have advertised a decrease of lighterage to $150. Yet even this healthy state of things, resulting from the competition of steamboat and railroad, will soon cease, if something be not done to render the Landing more accessible. The road to the Landing is in such a fearful condition, filled with ruts and chuckholes, that the patience of the most loyal patron of home industry and enterprise will be exhausted. Our farmers and merchants will lose courage and give up the attempt, and will stop at the depot instead of taking the terrible journey to the Landing. The wear and tear to horses, harness and wagon, not to speak of patience, is enough to turn the whole traffic into the hands of the railroad. Now, if the people of this section do not wish the Lighter Company to cease operations, and thus leave themselves at the mercy of the railroad, let them make some move for an improvement of this road. The Lighter Company itself should bestir itself, if it would protect its own interests, if it would save its life. Santa Ana, a town three times smaller, three times younger, three times less wealthy, doing three times less business than Anaheim, has united, and has secured, through the County Road Commissioner, a splendid turnpike to Newport. They have the best wagon road to the sea in the entire county, and every merchant and farmer and citizen reaps the advantage. Let Anaheim look to its own highest interests, and secure at once such action of the proper authorities as shall make the road to our landing so good, that the Lighter Co. shall be sustained in its work, and we will continue to reap the benefit of competition between these two public carriers, and secure the cheapest possible transportation to and from our markets. As some people cannot fathom the meaning of the term "local enterprise" we will define it for them. For the benefit of a certain class here as well as elsewhere we produce the definition. It is this: If you can think of anything that can be done to beautify and build up your town, go and do it; don't fight the laying down of a new sidewalk, because you have no experience. We met a former subscriber to the GAZETTE the other day. "Hello," says he, "did you know that I'd stopped the GAZETTE?" "No, how's that?" "Well, it didn't just suit me, and I stopped it." This information filled us with sadness, for we have been taking the GAZETTE for the last four years, more or less, and it grieved us greatly to learn that we would have to dispense with its familiar face in the future. Hoping that there may be some compromise effected so that the GAZETTE may continue its publication, we write to you to-day to inquire what can be done to induce this belligerent subscriber to renew his subscription, as the life of the GAZETTE seems to depend upon it!! The Rev. Dr. Ellis preached at Newport last Sabbath. "The Bow of Promise" was the subject he handled. He is a man of great force of character and as a popular preacher bids fair to rival Beecher and Talmage. Unlike Talmage, Dr. Ellis is no mountebank. He isn't like Beecher, either, in some things. That the "Bow of Promise" never existed prior to the flood, because it did not rain in the interval between the Adamic and Noahic periods, he amply proved. Mr. Fruit is building a large two-story dwelling on the edge of town, 48 x 32 feet, the architect being your fellow townsman, Mr. Evans. Mr. C. Laymann is finishing a fine residence on the outskirts of the town, Mr. Straw, who made so fine a finish of the Masonic and Odd Fellows Hall-room furniture, being the builder. J. C. Hill, formerly Anaheim, is now putting the finishing strokes on the inside hard-wood finish, which is a fine specimen of artistic skill. We took a trip through Gospel Swamp and Tustin City a few days ago. In a ride of eight miles we counted thirty-nine artesian wells, the last one we noticed being McFadden's, which flowed two inches from a pipe seventeen feet from the ground. Mr. Tustin gave us a glowing account of the future of Tustin City. His new store is rapidly nearing completion—the front of which will cost from $350 to $400 for the labor alone, the fine work of which was done by our energetic clubs, stones and bones, finally striking Mrs. Hubbell on the shoulder with the jaw bone of a bronco, from the effects of which she has been disabled ever since.

It is this: If you can think of anything that can be done to beautify and build up your town, go and do it; don't fight the laying down of a new sidewalk, because you have to pay a share of the expense. Keep your capital at home; patronize home industry; help your merchants to sell more, so they will sell cheaper; always get your work done in your own town if possible; subscribe and pay for your local paper, don't steal or borrow it. If you follow these suggestions, and your town don't improve and build up, it will not be your fault. DR. JOHN M. BROWN, the newly elected Grand Master of Masons in this State, is a surgeon in the U.S. Navy, has been stationed for years at the Vallejo Navy yard, was surgeon of the Kearsage when she sunk the Alabama, is one of the most polished gentlemen in the country, a fine writer and speaker, an elegant conversationalist, and when it comes to preside at a banquet or making time pass pleasantly in the social circle, is excelled by none and equalled by but few. He is withal a handsome man, and bears his forty or forty-five years as lightly as the next one. His high office has been worthily won, and doubtless will be worthily borne. The election returns from various parts of the State indicate that Professor Carr has been elected Superintendent of Public Instruction. As goes Anaheim, so goes the State. We took a trip through Gospel Swamp and Tustin City a few days ago. In a ride of eight miles we counted thirty-nine artesian wells, the last one we noticed being McFadden's, which flowed two inches from a pipe seventeen feet from the ground. Mr. Tustin gave us a glowing account of the future of Tustin City. His new store is rapidly nearing completion—the front of which will cost from $350 to $400 for the labor alone, the fine work of which was done by our energetic young friend James Corwin, he being assisted by Mr. Jacobs, a resident of Tustin City. Some half dozen other buildings were also in process of erection; the place, altogether, presenting a flourishing appearance. The first regular meeting of Santa Ana Lodge U. D., F. & A. M., was held on last Friday—the regular meetings of which are held on Friday on or after the full of the moon of each month. The Master elect, Mr. A. W Birch, has been quite ill for some time, but is now rapidly recovering, which fact will be very pleasing to his many friends. The Santa Ana Hotel was opened in due form and is now prepared to accommodate guests, either transient or permanent, in a first-class manner. Bronx. Santa Ana, Oct. 21, 1875. POLITICAL orators in the West indies in some high-flown asseverations in regard to their firmness of principle. The following is a moderate specimen: "Build a worm fence around the Winter's supply of Summer weather, skim the clouds from the sky with a teaspoon, catch a thunder-cloud in a bladder, break a hurricane to hareness, ground-slice an earthquake, lasso an avalanche, pin a napkin on the crater of an active volcano—but never expect to see me false in my principles." SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Contrasted with Florida—The Reason why Malaria cannot Prevail—The Future Value of Land. Eds. GAZETTE—Too much cannot be said in praise of the climate of our Southern California. Lately, I saw a very few wonds from a reliable person, about New Smyrna, Florida. Rich in her semi-tropical productions, and a climate mild enough to allow one to write with open doors, and in shirt sleeves, at Christmas. All very fine; but what followed started me to studying. What was that? Only one drawback—land only one dollar an acre!! Ah! cheap enough, and too cheap. There is a drawback somewhere. We can not get as good land in our region for less than $25, $30, or $40 per acre. I studied out, in a short time, the reason I think. It is one that will never change. Messrs. Editors, with your permission, I propose to draw a comparison between Florida and our Southern Coast, satisfactory to all who may read it, that we have largely the advantage and will keep it if necessary. Beginning at Point Conception we lose the chilliness of our northwest trade winds. The coast trends rapidly to the East-south-east. Bounding this territory on the East is not a range proper, but broken lines of low and some quite elevated mountains. As we learn from Maury and Warren, our rains come from the short space between us and the North trople; so we are sure of no very rough or stormy winds. Again, we have our regular trade-winds, in Summer from the N. W. Pacific, and in Winter from the N. W. Pacific. We can have no Summer rains from the East or from the Gulf of California. Here is our secret. Whilst from Arizona to Florida, fevers prevail in consequence of Summer rains, we will never be visited by BY TELEGRAPH. Market Report. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.

The polls opened at 7:15 A.M., but the number of voters desiring to deposit their ballots at that hour was very small. Few of the ballot boxes contained more than a dozen votes at eightclock. There is evidently none of the interest manifested in the contest for the Judiciary and State Superintendent of Public Instruction which animated the voters on the first of September. There is every reason now to believe that the total vote cast will compare favorably with previous Judicial elections. The contest between the candidates for State Superintendent of Public Instruction is intensely bitter, the criminals and recriminations that have been made during the past few days relative to the contestants for this office have no doubt deterred many from going to the polls at all. LATER—Carr's majority in this city is estimated at 2,000. The following are probably elected: Wright, County Judge; Myrick, Probate Judge; Blake, Municipal Judge; Louderback, Police Judge. SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 20. Fitzgerald has a large majority. Willis is elected County Judge by 127 majority. OAKLAND, Oct. 20. Brooklyn gives Carr 205, Fitzgerald 89. This city will give Carr 900 majority. CARSON, Oct. 19. The Board of State Prison Commissioners have suspended and discharged P.C. Hymann, Wartlen of the State Prison, and appointed Wilton R. El- we learn from Maury and Warren, our rains come from the short space between us and the North tropic; so we are sure of no very rough or stormy winds. Again, we have our regular trade-winds, in Summer from the N. W. Pacific, and in Winter from the S. W. Pacific. We can have no Summer rains from the East or from the Gulf of California. Here is our secret. Whilst from Arizona to Florida, fevers prevail in consequence of Summer rains, we will never be visited by fevers, epidemic or malarious. Since no one who studies our situation can successfully dispute this, we may well ask, who can limit the prosperity of our future? Land is high, but it will be higher, and no one now living can estimate its value. C. W. SHANE. TOBACCO CULTURE. The Crop in Anaheim and vicinity----A Profitable Industry---Various Methods of Curing the Weed. We were favored this morning with a visit from Mr. Cartwright, who brought for our inspection samples of tobacco raised on Mr. Alfred Metcalf's farm. Nine acres of tobacco were planted, and it is estimated that the yield per acre will be nearly one thousand and pounds. Tobacco is quoted in the San Francisco market at from 40 cts. to $1 per pound, and Mr. Cartwright expects to sell the crop for at least fifty cents per pound. This would make the snug sum of forty-five hundred dollars as the gross yield of nine acres. Mr. Cartwright was born and raised in the tobacco-growing regions of Kentucky, and professes to have considerable experience in the curing of the weed. He is an advocate of the fire process of drying. His method is to hang the plants in tiers in a barn and keep a fire under them for about eight days and nights. As there is a great deal of diversity of opinion in regard to the best manner of curing tobacco, we have invited Mr. Cartwright to ventilate his views on the subject, and he has promised to give as an article for publication. The raising of tobacco will be ere long a very prominent industry in Southern California, and any information we can glean will be laid before our readers. Mr. Cartwright left a sample of the tobacco at this office, were it may be seen by the curious. Mr. Hille has a fine field of tobacco about five acres—growing on Tim Carroll's place. We are told that he will commence curing this week, by entirely new process which is no HARD—Theresa, 16@17c; cases, 16@17c.

Hilton, on a ranch seven miles up the Sacramento river, came to this city in a light wagon, got drunk and drove furiously home. On arriving at the house, McMillen drove the horse down to the river bank to drink, when the animal got into the water. It seems that the unfortunate man urged him ahead till he lost his footing, when the wagon upset and McMillen and the horse were drowned. The body has not yet been discovered. NEW YORK, Oct. 19. The new iron steamship, City of New York, built by John Roch & Son, at Chester, Pennsylvania, for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, arrived on Sunday evening. She is 353 feet long, 40½ feet wide, with depth of 39¹ feet from hurricane deck and 31 ft from spar deck. She is of 3,750 tons burthen, is bark rigged, and draws 18 feet at rudder and 19 feet at bow. On Saturday last she steamed out to sea nearly thirty miles, the highest speed attained being fourteen miles an hour. She is provided with ten metallic life boats and with life rafts. There are two compound engines and six boilers, seven bulk-heads, which divide the ship into eight water-tight compartments, while the aggregate power of all the pumps to free the ship from water is one hundred thousand gallons per minute. She is finely finished. The City of New York goes at once into the Pacific Mail Co.'s service. The Post's Washington special says: Mr. Chandler says the Interior Secretaryship was not formally tendered to him until this morning. He has concluded to accept. There will be no change in the Assistant Secretaryship. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 19. Clark Edmundson, the negro who was charged with the outrage of a white woman in Fayette, was taken out of jail yesterday morning by a party of two or three hundred, and hanged on the gallows that his brother was hanged on the week before.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19. The Republican County Convention was held here to-day and Louis C. Huyck nominated for Treasurer. He is a prominent German and was selected for the purpose of defeating Hessing and his not over respectable crowd. The contest will be very warm, and no stone left unturned by either party. The other Republican nominees are very strong and unobjectionable men. San Francisco Markets. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21. FLOUR—The local jobbing trade continues to be supplied at $5 87@6 37¹.

[From the Petaluma Argus, Oct. 1st.] N. O. Stafford, a long time resident and business man of Petaluma, and now of Santa Ana, Los Angeles county, arrived in town last week and will remain here until after the Fair. While eating nothing from his strong adoration for Petaluma and Sonora County, Mr. Stafford thinks his new home cannot be surpassed. Santa Ana is 44 miles from Los Angeles city, in the direction of San Diego. When Mr. Stafford located there, a little more than two years ago, the surrounding country was almost a wilderness; now there are many settlers, and others are continually coming in. Crops of all kinds are good this year, and it is estimated that within a circuit of 6 miles Mr. Stafford's place over 200,000 hectares of corn will be produced this year, the yield per acre ranging from 150 bushels. Water for irrigation readily obtained by sinking artesian wells, the necessary depth being from 130 feet. At Westminster, near Santa Ana, a well with a seven-inch depth yields water enough to propel machinery for quite a large manufacturing establishment. In Mr. Stafford's neighborhood are located following former residents of Petaluma and vicinity, all whom are in health and doing well: Andrew Bass, Columbus Tustin, George Freeze, Rev. J. G. Lehigh, Mr. Wilcox, two married daughters of Mr. Buffalo. CINCINNATI, Oct. 19. The official returns of Hamilton county give the Republicans all the State Senators and all of the ten Representatives. TIFFAN, Ohio, Oct. 18. The excitement caused by the suicide of J. F. Huss, cashier of the First National Bank in this city, Friday evening last, still continues. The latest developments show that Huss has not only been defaulter to a considerable amount, but also it is asserted a forger on his best friends. The Government Bank Inspector arrived this morning and took charge of the matter of investigating the affairs of the bank. No result has yet been reached. San Francisco Market.

The following petition is being circulated throughout the county and is receiving a large number of signatures: To the Honorable Senate and Assembly of the State of California: Your petitioners respectfully represent to your honorable body— That they are citizens and taxpayers of the County of Los Angeles. That in their opinion the present law in reference to the custody of county funds, as understood and administered in said county, does not afford adequate security for the safe keeping of such funds. That there are frequently in the hands of the County Treasurer of said county sums larger than the bonds expected from him by law, and that these sums often so remain for considerable periods. That your petitioners can see no good reason why large sums of money should remain idle and unemployed in the hands of that officer, when they might be employed to the advantage of the community, and the county at the same time derive a benefit from the interest. That, therefore, your petitioners pray your honorable body that a law be enacted which shall, after the expiration of the term of office of the present incumbent and his successor, recently elected, abolish the office of County Treasurer, and authorize the Board of Supervisors of said county to commit the custody of the public money to him who shall pay the highest rate of interest therefor, and at the same time furnish full and satisfactory security for his repayment on demand, whenever required for county uses.
