Anaheim Gazette SATURDAY JAN. 15, 1875. THE NEW COUNTY. It cannot be but strong opposition to the formation of a new county out of a part of Los Angeles county will arise in Los Angeles. The Express leads the opposition by an article in review of opinions advanced at the meeting in Anaheim, but it does not make any very strong points. It is not held by those in favor of county division that bankruptcy is because a large city is in the county, but because schemes to benefit that city and certain parties in it are carried on at the expense of the county. We at this end of the county do not feel like contributing so much to the income of men who are so strenuous to keep the well plucked goose within their grasp. The question of actual benefit is a simple one. The expenses of a new county for all proper outlay for suitable temporary accommodations and for fair salaries for services rendered by officials, leaving all fees and interest and other sources of income, to accrue to the gain of the county, cannot be very large for a few years. Then if the people desire to erect county buildings at some suitable center, there will be money enough to do this without any very great trouble. The public buildings are not an immediate necessity, but can easily wait. It is plain that if the new county is to be run on the same principles as the old one has been governed it will, no doubt, be a costly experiment. The Express sees no other way. Well we hope to keep out of the hands of such men as are known to control matters in Los Angeles in regard both to city and county. [COMMENTS] A PLEA FOR COUNTY DIVISION. The present area of Los Angeles county is 6,000 square miles. The State of New Jersey 8,320 square miles with twenty counties; Connecticut, 4,670 square miles with eight counties; Delaware, 2,120 square miles, with three counties; Rhode Island, 1,300 square miles, with five counties. In 1860 the average size of the counties in the 31 States was 852 square miles. Since 1890, the increase of population has been unexampled, and corresponding changes have taken place in the division or creation of counties, but it is impossible to get the data for an exhibit of the present condition. This average includes all the older States, from Maine to Texas and California. To many of us the amount of sand, of barren, hill and mountain tracts in this extensive area is not unknown. In fact, the county of Los Angeles with its hills and plains, is a fair sample. Measured by this standard, the new county will exceed the average by a surplus of seventy-five per cent. If, however, the life of a man is to be measured not by years but by achievements, how much more should a county be measured not by its area, but by its fertility, its capability of sustaining a dense population. According to this standard, the new county will be equal to 3,000 square miles of average land; containing, as it does, fifty per cent. of the arable land in Los Angeles county with 6,000 square miles. The population of the new county is seven thousand, which as far exceed the average number of inhabitants of new counties as does the fertility of this county exceed that of counties in general. We have a larger immigration than any other portion of the Southern counties, and a consequent more rapid increase in the value of property. Large ranches are being subdivided and offered for sale in small tracts on long time, and our land owners at their own expense are constructing extensive works of irrigation, thus greatly increasing the fertility and value of large districts.

The public buildings are not an immediate necessity, but can easily wait. It is plain that if the new county is to be run on the same principles as the old one has been governed it will, no doubt, be a costly experiment. The Express sees no other way. Well we hope to keep out of the hands of such men as are known to control matters in Los Angeles in regard both to city and county. We, at this end of the county, cannot understand why Los Angeles opposes this movement, for if she did not reap some very great advantage, if she were perfectly willing that all the money raised here should be properly expended here, there would be no ground to oppose us. It is manifest the Los Angeles people are afraid they will lose a good thing, and they are only looking out for their own interests in seeking to continue receivers and manipulators of our taxes. We may fully and freely to the eastern part of the county, we are prepared to assume not only the responsibilities of a new county organization, but all its expenses, and we are anxious to show them the meaning of economy and an upright administration. OUR STREETS AGAIN. Our late rains have forebly called the attention of the public to the condition of our thoroughfares. Our streets are so depressed in the center as to be only broad, shallow gutters, and the passing teams cut deeply into the soil, leaving as a result a mudhole extending through their whole length and breadth, which is actually apalling to all pedestrians, especially to women with "pullbacks" and to all who take pride in a clean carriage. The part of our streets approaching our bridges over the ditches has a deeper depression, and becomes in many places the bottom of ponds of water. One perpetual nuisance of this sort is just in front of Mr. Knox's new residence on Lemon street. Another is not far from the old Strobel place, on the same street. Another is down Centre street, near the Kuchel vineyard. Why cannot our Road Commissioner have all these places turned at least, so that the water will be turned to a ditch one side. Then if all our people were public spirited and would prepare a side walk, as Mr. Langenberger has done, and as others have done with broad planking, the worst part of our troubles on this score would be removed. A slight elevation of dirt along the roadside would very soon harden into a good path. A very few days labor would provide this on all our side streets, while in the business part of the town a plank sidewalk should be provided, in the interests both of comfort and of business. The population of the new county is seven thousand, which as far exceed the average number of inhabitants of new counties as does the fertility of this county exceed that of counties in general. We have a larger immigration than any other portion of the Southern counties, and a consequent more rapid increase in the value of property. Large ranches are being subdivided and offered for sale in small tracts on long time, and our land owners at their own expense are constructing extensive works of irrigation, thus greatly increasing the fertility and value of large districts. This point of our more rapid increase than the rest of the county becomes one of prominence, when we recognize that by means of it, our proportion of the county debt each year increases. Hence it behoves us as thinking men, to cut short this growing debt which to us is doubly increasing, for not only is the county debt growing larger, but our proportion of the entire debt on account of our more rapid increase in wealth is yearly growing greater. The county of Los Angeles is one of the oldest in the State and one of its richest, and yet has a debt which gradually increases. The city of Los Angeles has since the settlement of the county been the leading town of Southern California, and to it has locked the adventurers of every class and grade. Every city attracts to itself the floating population, who live not alone from hand to mouth, but subsist upon the ignorance and carelessness of the more fortunate. Especially is this the case in a city like Los Angeles; the largest in our extensive area and which is and has been at all time the seat of political patronage. This point is of interest, not only on account of the voting power of this portion of the population, but on the greater proportion of crime committed by inhabitants of cities than those of the country: single criminal trials often cost the county thousands of dollars. In fact, the depreciations, apprehension, trial and punishment of the criminal class cost us more annually than do our common schools. Then why should we cleave to the expensive luxury of punishing the criminals of a city? It has been estimated by one of our oldest county officers that eight-ninths of all the crimes and pauperism in our county is located North of New river, yet we pay full one-fourth of the cost. The city bestows the patronage of the county officers upon its favored sons and they are generally men who would do honor to any section. But taxation without representation or without benefit from the taxation is as much as our ancestors of 1775 complained of. We have, it is true, one Supervisor to represent us, but Los Angeles should blush to tell it, that our section has but one representative among the county officers from the Senator to the lowest, and that one a Supervisor in a board of five. But how has this city used its power? In its own affairs it is over $325,000 in debt, with almost nothing to show for it, and is now petitioning the Legislature to grant it power to issue $125,000 in bonds to do... Russian Ladies. The characteristics of the Russian type of feminine beauty are an extreme fairness of complexion, grayish-blue eyes, blonde or chestnut hair, and a certain embonpoint, arising from the lack of exercise and the life in-doors, which is compelled by a Winter lasting seven or eight months. They suggest the idea of odalisques, whom the Genius of the North keeps confined in the tropical atmosphere of a hot-house. They have complexions of cold cream and snow, with tints of the hearts of a camellia—like those over-volled women of the seraglio, whose skin the sunlight has never touched. By this extreme fairness their delicate features are rendered even more delicate, and the softened outlines form faces of Hyperborean sweetness and Polar grace. The Russian women, in society, seem to make less display than the men, as the uniforms and courts of the latter glitter with gold lace and embroidery, and with jewelled decorations. Yet the simple robes of the ladies are composed of the costliest fabrics, fastened with the rarest gems; and their dazzling skins, and flashing diamonds, and gleaming pearls, and flowing draperies, match in effect the heaviest splendor of the masculine attire. Their "simplicity pays homage to the Empress, who prefers elegance to ostentation; but you may be sure Mammon loses nothing by it. Like their sex everywhere—they know how to make gain more costly than gold." "Boss," a mongrel yellow dog, is the mail carrier between Minnesota and Dakota, sixty miles. He makes the trip for nothing and boards himself, and never falls. There seem to be no competitors for the position. Heretofore the County Fathers, in gracious moods, have donated, of their private—no, I mean the county funds, $4,000 to pay one-half the cost of two fire engines for Los Angeles City and one of the three bridges, and the one which cost twice more than the would do honor to any section. But taxation without representation or without benefit from the taxation is as much as our ancestors of 1775 complained of. We have, it is true, one Supervisor to represent us, but Los Angeles should blush to tell it, that our section has but one representative among the county officers from the Senator to the lowest, and that one a Supervisor in a board of five. But how has this city used its power? In its own affairs it is over $325,000 in debt, with almost nothing to show for it, and is now petitioning the Legislature to grant it power to issue $125,000 in bonds to develop and improve its water supply. The revenue of the county has been used year after year by the same parties as wisely as they have their own. The assessed taxable value of this county is fifteen millions, ($15,000,000.) Now, at our present rate of taxation, 198-1000, the income from this amount is $297,000. With an income of this, or half this amount, why would there be a necessity of issuing bonds whenever this county wished to build a bridge or erect an almshouse? In fact every Legislature which has met for years has been importuned to grant power to issue bonds for county purposes. The "powers that be" in our county seem to utter a self complacent sigh of relief, like Mr. Micawber when indebtedness is "funded," and think it settled. The present Legislature is to be requested to grant us the privilege of issuing $200,000 in bonds to build a County Court House, a Jail and a bridge in Los Angeles City. I am informed by one in interest with apparent satisfaction that the "powers that be" will not let out the contracts so as possibly to require more than was originally intended, but I was sorry to hear this, for I would rather allow the parties a latitude to count on a further appropriation, so as to satisfy the extraordinary expenses and still make for the county respectable structures, but I fear now the extraordinary expenses as will come out first and leave only enough to pay for shoddy-work in the buildings, and thus we may loose the entire appropriation.

The bill, provided a heavy bond should be given conditioned that the work be performed. In workman-like manner, 25 per cent. to be withheld until the bridge is accepted, and yet one was carried away the first freshet, so lovenly was it constructed. The bridge now standing, which cost $9,000, is not on our stage-line road—the county road, but on a local road, for the benefit of Downey City. If the county is divided we have our proportion of the debt already accrued, after a reduction is made for the Court House and other assets of the old county. If we wait, the debt for the new Court House, Jail and bridges, etc., will be baddled upon us at an extravagant cost of erection, which in the subsequent division of the county, which in the future is inevitable, can only be estimated and charged against the old county at a fair valuation. At the other end of the county one road, the San Francisquito, was started with an appropriation of $7,000, and has cost the county something every month since. On the fourth inst., as I saw a moment ago, the Monte Vista Road Viewers Report was accepted and the amounts awarded by them for damages ordered to be paid—amount of appropriation not mentioned. In matter of Marengo Road, non-consenting owners are notified to appear; when this is done, damages will most probably be assessed and ordered paid.

A stranger would think certainly this is a new county or the more re- the advantage of our growing wealth and prosperity. The present rate of taxes will build us a Courthouse costing $80,000, and pay us entirely out of debt in five years. I understand there are some who oppose this move for fear rival sections may be benefited by the location of the county seat, and that there is with some a desire to contract the proposed bounds to the Coyote Creek. The valley between the New San Gabriel and the Santa Ana rivers can never be divided by a county line. If we cannot go as an entitley into a new county, we will let Santa Ana river be the boundary line, and remain undivided in the old organization; for without it all county government would be burdensome to the part set off. The creation of the county proposed will be almost like opening up an unexplored region, for the resources which we contain are entirely unknown to the outside world. The mere advertisement of us thereby will increase the value of our property greatly. It is understood by some that this is an unhealthy marsh, only inhabited by such as are unable to live elsewhere. The beauty and fertility of our section is hidden from view. Los Angeles is an emporium and we provincial settlements. Today I was informed by a gentleman who considers himself of great influence in the community, that men were so corrupt that we could not be trusted to govern ourselves, that we had no men qualified to fill our county offices should we succeed in the division, that there was not a man in this end of the county fit to go to the Legislature. If we continue to be led by the nose by the present majority of the county on account of personal and local jealousies among ourselves, we will be deservedly estimated by others in the same degree as we are ranked by the gentleman quoted. This gentleman has since declared his willingness to sign the petition. M. L. WICKS, In the discussion now going on between the GAZETTE and the Los Angeles Press, relative to the division of the county, it is pleasant to note the courteous tone employed by the Express and Herald. In marked contrast, however, is the drivelling of the BY TELEGRAPH. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 14. In the Assembly, Patterson introduced a concurrent resolution relative to making national currency receivable at par for all custom dues. Referred to the Committee on Federal Resolutions. In the Senate, Tinnin introduced a bill conferring the elective franchise upon male descendants of whites and Indians born in the United States. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. It is alleged that in various parts of the State there are numbers of educated half-breaks who, under the existing state of affairs, are denied the right of voting. The following were passed: Roach's concurrent resolution asking Congress to grant pensions to soldiers in the Mexican war: also, Roach's concurrent rent resolution asking Congress to modify the Burlingame treaty, to prevent coolie immigration; also, Assembly concurrent resolution memorizing Congress to construct a breakwater at San Luis Obispo; also, Assembly concurrent resolution for translating and printing 2,000 copies of Gov Irwin's inaugural address in Spanish; also, Bush's bill amending Sec. 628 of the Penal Code, relating to the killing of quail in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. The Texas-Pacific bill introduced by Senator Hamilton authorizes the Southern Pacific Railroad of California to extend its line Eastward from the Colorado river to meet the Texas-Pacific road on the latter's line, or if found more practicable, on or near the 32d parallel, said Southern Pacific railroad company to have and to enjoy for the portion which it constructs all the land grant and other rights heretofore provided for the Texas-Pacific Company; and the Southern Pacific Company is also empowered to build a road from some point on its line to ship's channel in San Diego Bay, and for this portion it also shall enjoy all rights heretofore granted it shall build twenty miles of this branch within two years, and twenty miles yearly thereafter. It is also required to commence work on the extension eastward from the Colorado within one year after its road is completed... Road connecting Ballona Road and Cahuenga Road No. 2, with the city limits. Report of viewers received and clerk instructed to notify non-consenting owners. Of course they must be paid. Road through land of J.A.Moreenhaut, ordered that the report of viewers be received and Moreenhaut be allowed $687 damages, provided petitioners pay $300. Cahuenga Road No. 2. Report of viewers received, and the same declared a public highway; W.B.Hunt to be allowed $100 damages, &c. A stranger would think certainly this is a new county or the more recently settled portions are being well supplied with roads by the Supervisors; but no—the more recently settled portion, the Southern part of the county is not represented. These roads are all in the other part of the county, generally near Los Angeles city. I have not introduced this without an object; Our portion of the county is divided into sections and quarter sections and the roads established in the original division by the foresight of the ranch holders and the government. I am reliably informed that not a dollar damages has ever been assessed in this end of the county in payment for lands used in opening public roads, while at the other end of the county the annual cost of opening roads, the land not being so sectionized, swells to huge proportions, of which we of the Southeast must pay our full pro rata. Are there no reasons for county division? Again, in establishing works of irrigation which increase greatly the taxable wealth of our county, Los Angeles City will refuse to bear any portion of the burden; yet we must buy her fire engines and build her bridges within her own limits. Yes, and do it with out power to refuse, for they "have us on the hip," and there are no laws enacted in Venice or elsewhere to relieve us. We must act as men and assert our right of self-government. No better time could be chosen than the centennial year of Declaration of Independence as a Nation. Especially as we can, on account of the reason and good feeling of many in the other sections of the county, who will favor rather than oppose our separation—in the same year declare our independence, and gain our right of self-government. Is like Abraham and Lot, we cannot on account of our wealth live together in peace, let us like them separate in peace. Though paying $80,000 tax the present year, the Southern portion is informed: "You get as much as you deserve, but yet we are not willing for you to go off from us; it is true you would leave us an assess value of $10,-000,000 whereas you would only take $4,000,000, yet we are unwilling to give up the privilege of taxing you; we make no complaint, we pay the same tax you pay." Yes, but you pay it and spend it among yourselves, while the Southern portion of the county pays it to you. Majorities who rule never complain, it is minorities who suffer and complain. If we feel that we have come to years of maturity and wish to set up for ourly estimated by others in the same degree as we are ranked by the gentleman quoted. This gentleman has since declared his willingness to sign the petition. M.L.Wicks, In the discussion now going on between the GAZETTE and the Los Angeles Press, relative to the division of the county, it is pleasant to note the courteous tone employed by the Express and Herald. In marked contrast, however, is the drivelling of the egotistical ink-slinger who controls the Star. Incapable of dispassionate argument, he resorts to billingsgate and misrepresentation. However, he don't amount to much in the fight. CRISP MUFFINS.—One pint of sifted Indian meal, one pint of milk or cream, two eggs, a teaspoonful of butter or lard. Drop the batter in a hot, greased pat or oven, by spoonfuls,taking care that your muffins do not touch. Let them bake till crisp and brown. SQUASH PIE—Take Hubbard squash; treat in all respects as for pumpkin pie; cut, stew, mash; add milk, eggs, sugar and spice to taste. Bake nicely. They are much superior to pumpkin pies. These pies can be made very wholesome to dyspeptics by the crust being made of Indian meal; thus; Butter the pie-dish nicely, and sprinkle over it evenly the meal, say 1 to 1 inch thick. Will cut out nicely if just right. Are delicious. FRENCH PANCAKES—Half a pint of milk, two ounces of butter, two ounces of boat sugar, two ounces of flour, two eggs. Put milk, butter and sugar into a saucepan (oassalve net boil), beat eggs and flour together until quite smooth, then add the other ingredients and mix well. Divide this quantity and put it in four saucers to bake for twenty minutes; lay two pancakes on a dish, spread preserves over, and cover with the other two pancakes. Serve hot. OXFORD DUMPLINGS.—Mix well together the following ingredients: Two ounces of grated bread, four ounces of currants, four ounces of shred sauté, a tablespoonful of sifted sugar,a little allspice,and plenty of grated lemon peel. Beat up well two eggs; add a little milk and divide the mixture into five dumplings. Fry them in butter a light brown color and serve them with sauce. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 12. In the Senate yesterday Satterwhite presented a memorial from the Bar Association of San Bernardino in reference to the frequent and unnecessary changes of the Codes. Read and referred to the Judiciary Committee. Senator Bush returned last evening from Napa, where the Hospital Committee were investigating the alleged ill-treatment of a patient by the Superintendent of the institution.

Yes, but you pay it and spend it among yourselves, while the Southern portion of the county pays it to you. Majorities who rule never complain, it is minorities who suffer and complain. If we feel that we have come to years of maturity and wish to set up for ourselves, offering to bear our proportion of the present burden, why do you oppose us? The division of large counties is of ordinary occurrence, and it is right. When a section believes it for its benefi-tion set up a local self-government, and is able to support such a government, it is but decent and proper that it should not be opposed by the mother county. San Bernardino, the largest and proportionally the poorest county of the State, years ago separated from Los Angeles county, assuming its pro-rata of the debt. Los Angeles county, with an assessment roll of $15,000,000, is yet in debt and heavily taxed, without any public improvements worthy of the name. San Bernardino county has paid off its debt, has reduced its taxation, and has built and paid for a Court House and Jail, which are an honor to it; and all this was accomplished on an assessment of less than $2,000,000. Are the people of San Bernardino any wiser or better than we of the south-eastern portion of Los Angeles county? When land-owners in San Francisco, who have more than 100,000 acres in the new county, seek a division, ought there to be a question of the ability of the new county to sustain itself and pay off its debt without an increased rate of taxation? Certainly these men are not influenced by local hostility. Now, a few words as to our lives: That we have one of the most fertile bodies of land, and one of the finest climates on the globe, that immigration is rapidly pouring in, is admitted by all who have taken the pains to investigate. Then County Division is inevitable, and if it must come why postpone it until our burdens are increased? Let us divide and take our proportion of the debt while we are yet undeveloped, taking to ourselves SACRAMENTO, Jan. 12. In the Senate yesterday Satterwhite presented a memorial from the Bar Association of San Bernardino in reference to the frequent and unnecessary changes of the Codes. Read and referred to the Judiciary Committee. Senator Bush returned last evening from Napa, where the Hospital Committee were investigating the alleged ill-treatment of a patient by the Superintendent of the institution. In the Assembly yesterday, Hayne, from the Ventura and Santa Barbara delegation, reported back favorably the bill concerning the County Treasurer of Ventura county, which was today passed and engrossed. McConnell's bill, providing for irrigation in Los Angeles county, was introduced to-day and referred. The rain-fall at Sacramento last week was 3.88 inches, making a total for the season of 14.85 inches. The icicles on the bridge which conveys water to Truckee are twenty feet long, and as thick as a man's body. The citizens of Dixon will hold a meeting on the 17th, to consult upon the advisability of incorporating the town. A lot of shells, such as the Indians use for money, were recently found buried in the heart of an oak tree cut near Santa Rosa. Diphtheria is prevailing in some parts of the State, and several deaths have already occurred at Tomales, Santa Rosa and Napa. A peat fuel company has been organized at San Jose with a capital of $1,500,000, to operate in the peat beds of the San Joaquin Valley tule lands. A Truckee firm are making petty thieving from their store very unpopular by taking the thief down a caller whenever he is caught, flagging him soundly and then tying him to the top of a large box in the store with a large placard labelled "Thief" about his neck, where he is kept for two or three hours according to the magnitude of the offense.

The Company wishes to build the valley portion and emit the mountain. The bill has received the recommendation of the Committee on Federal Relations for passage and engrossment. The same Senator has a concurrent resolution relating to the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company's reserve lands in Ventura County, compelling them to proclaim the return of said land to the public domain. It has received the recommendation of the Committee for passage and engrossment. In the Assembly yesterday, Me-Connell's bill to authorize the Mayor and Common Council to provide means for the irrigation of the city of Los Angeles, was referred to the Los Angeles delegation. STOCKTON, Jan. 11. Owing to heavy rains in this vicinity all the low lands are overflowed and rivers and sloughs are very high. On Saturday and Sunday the steamer Alice Garrott made a trip to Staten & Bennett's Island and brought off the sheep of Burge and Carleton. The sheep were brought away on account of the high water which is still on the rise in that vicinity. The cattle still on the Island have a promise of not faring well, and a barge was sent down yesterday for them. LARAMIE CITY, W. T., Jan. 11. A party has just come from the Centennial mine bringing in several thousand dollars in gold and a large quantity of very rich quartz which literally glistens with free gold. This mine is situated 28 miles due west from Laramie City, and everything indicates that it is the richest gold mine which has ever been found on this continent. There are deep snows in the mountains of that neighborhood which prevented the people in this region from rushing there for gold. DENVER, Col., Jan. 11.

It is reported that when the Egyptians recently occupied the town of Brava, belonging to the Sultan of Zanzibar, Mr. Kirk, the British Consul, who went to seek for explanations, was obstructed in entering the town by Egyptian troops, and their Commander refused to apologise for the insult. Mr. Kirk, accordingly, threatened to order the British man-of-war Thetis to bombard the town. The Egyptian Commandant sent an apology to the Consul an hour before the notice of bombardment expired. The Thetis had already taken up position and was cleared for action. BARLIN, Jan. 12.

Governor Emery's message is favorably commented on by the Gentile papers, but the Mormon journals are silent on the subject. The Tribune says the Governor has taken a firm stand, and his official utterances will receive hearty commendation from every legal citizen in Utah. The Mail says the calm, dispassionate, yet dignified and pronounced tone of the Governor's message cannot fail to impress the non-Mormon population with the fact that the General Government has in view the delivery of Utah from ecclesiastical domination at no distant day. His recommendations in regard to free schools, marked ballots, ingestuous marriages and polygamy are outspoken and have a fearless and statesmanlike ring. It is not thought that the Assembly will give heed to the recommendations. At the first day of the session yesterday, the House constituted Speaker Orson Pratt umple of proceedings, with no appeal from his decisions. The Committee to-day reported favorably on the admission of Assembli­man Foots from Toocelle, the only Gentile member, to a seat, but the Apostle Taylor opposed, and the question is still in abeyance.
