WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...SEPTEMBER 14, 1878. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the places designated. They are authorized to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WESTMINSTER.....ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GROVE.....CON HOWE SANTA ANA.....DR J. N. BURTMEIT ORANGE.....N. D. HARWOOD TUSTIN.....C. TUSTIN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO.....R. BOAN NORWALK.....J. E. CALDWELL TO SUBSCRIBERS. Subscribers in arrears to the Weekly Gazette will receive a statement of their account through the mails. The time of the publisher is so much occupied, as to make it impossible for him to present the bills in person. It is hoped that all accounts will be speedily settled. A SUGGESTION. The advertisement of the Horticultural Society's Exhibition will be found on the fourth page. The display made by Anaheim last year was a very creditable one, but it should be surpassed this year. Various causes will combine to draw a great attendance to this exhibition. It is the first in the history of the Society; the pavilion is a new structure built especially for the advantageous display of Southern California productions; the excursions from various points to Los Angeles at reduced rates and the energy with which the officers of the Society have taken hold of matters, will all have a tendency to draw an immense concourse of visitors. Such being the case it behooves Anaheim to be well represented. In order, however, that the number and character of exhibits do our place full justice, some committee must take the matter in charge. This committee might make out a list of articles CONSOLIDATION OF INTERESTS. A meeting between the officers of the Anaheim Water Company and the Cajon Irrigation Company was held at Scott & Montgomery's office on Thursday, and the following agreement was entered into: Whereas the undersigned parties hereto are mutual ownersortenants in common, each owning an equal and undivided one-half interest in the ditch known as the Cajon Irrigating Canal, commencing at a point on the west bank of the river Santa Ana, known as Bed Rock Canyon. Now, for the mutual interests of the two corporations and the better protection of all parties hereto, the following contract and agreement is this day entered into: Each corporation hereto is to elect from among its stockholders one of its members, who shall constitute a board of two directors for the management of the main canal, keeping the same in repair, running the water, and controlling everything therewith connected. In case of a disagreement between the two directors so comprising such board, they shall select a third party, not either directly or indirectly connected with or interested in either company, as an umpire, and the decision of the majority of the board so constituted, after a full hearing of the facts, shall be final, which decision shall be rendered in writing, and spread upon the records of each said companies. On failure of the directors of either company to carry out the decision, the same may be enforced as a contract against the party so delinquent, after a default of ten days, allowing all costs of suit and reasonable counsel fees in any suit so arising; but neither party shall be deprived of the use of the water flowing in said ditch to which it is fully entitled, except by due process of law.

Such being the case it behooves Anaheim to be well represented. In order, however, that the number and character of exhibits do our place full justice, some committee must take the matter in charge. This committee might make out a list of articles which in their opinion ought to be exhibited, and if they were not brought forward voluntarily, the committee could take necessary steps to secure them. It won't do to leave this thing to exhibitors; because the display—what there is of it—will be scattered throughout the building in odd nooks or corners, instead of being fitly and tastily arranged all in one space, as a distinctively Anaheim exhibit. Each town or school district applying for space will be allowed a department of its own, and Anaheim should make immediate application for space, as we suppose the ancient principle of first come first served will be followed by the management. We think it entirely within the province of the Town Council to appoint such a committee as we suggest. It need not necessarily be entirely composed of members of that body—they could call in the assistance of some energetic and public-spirited citizens. Not only could they with propriety take the initiative in this matter, but it is almost their duty to do so. They are the head of this municipal household, and it is right that their family should expect them to advance their welfare in every possible way. If they will take this matter in hand, our word for it the citizens will be responsive, and as a result Anaheim will win fresh glory, secure the best kind of an advertisement, and without doubt attract an attention which may be the means of causing desirable additions to our population. Since the above was in type, we have spoken with many citizens, and all express themselves pleased with our suggestion. Trustee Cohen heartily favored it, and he suggests that a special meeting of the council be called, so that application for space in the pavilion may be secured without delay. THE BANK'S ANSWER. We published today in our advertising columns a statement of the condition of the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank of Los Angeles. The publicity given to the bank's affairs at this time was thought to be necessary in order to counteract any evil effects which might follow the publication of an article reflecting on the management and soundness of the bank. The article referred to first appeared in a San Francisco paper, whose editor is a bitter enemy of Mr. Hellman, and who has been heard to threaten to Anaheim, Sept. 12th, 1878. (Signed) Cajon Irrigation Company, by R. H. Gilman, Vice President, (acting as President). W. M. McFadden, Secy. C. I. Co. Approved by D. W. Gelwicks, Attorney in fact for J. W. Shanklin. THEO. REISER. President Anaheim Water Co. John Fischer, Secretary A. W. Co. The Cajon Company deed to the Anaheim Company a half interest in the ditch for $20,000, payment to be made as follows: $4000 cash; note for $6000, bearing 1 per cent interest, to run as long as desired, and $10,000 to be arranged by loan in San Francisco or elsewhere, the deed to be deposited in the Bank of Anaheim in escrow until the completion of said loan and payment of the said amount. A meeting of the Anaheim Water Company will be held to-day for the double purpose of ratifying the agreement and of amending the by-laws. We believe that the action of the trustees is warmly commended by the people. For ourselves, we believe that from the day on which the agreement is ratified a new era of prosperity will dawn upon Anaheim. The overhanging sun does not shine upon a better country than Anaheim and its environs, nor one better adapted to fruitculture and general farming. But to make farming or fruit raising profitable, water for irrigating must be abundant, and there can be little doubt that the step just taken will render a repetition of water famine impossible. In the suit now pending between the Cajon Company and the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company, all expenses will be borne by the former company, and they have given to the Anaheim Water Company a bond of $4000 as a guarantee that they will assume all responsibility. The deed from the Cajon Irrigation Company to the Anaheim Water Company, conveying to the latter an undivided one-half interest in the Cajon irrigating canal, was written by Mr. Montgomery on the 12th inst. It is a plain bargain and sale deed, for the consideration of $20,000 cash; no conditions or agreements are inserted in the deed, but it contains a copy of a resolution passed by the Directors of the Cajon Irrigation Company, directing the sale of said interest in said canal for said sum of money and authorizing their President and Secretary to execute a proper conveyance to the same. The formal parts of the deed are short and concise, but the description of the property conveyed is full and voluminous. The deed covers twenty-two pages of closely written legal cap, and is estimated to contain 4500 words. In the case of the Anaheim Water Company vs. Amos Wright, et al., which was to have been tried in the District Court on Wednesday, the defendants have appealed to the Supreme Court against the order granting a new trial.

We published to-day in our advertising columns a statement of the condition of the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank of Los Angeles. The publicity given to the bank's affairs at this time was thought to be necessary in order to counteract any evil effects which might follow the publication of an article reflecting on the management and soundness of the bank. The article referred to first appeared in a San Francisco paper, whose editor is a bitter enemy of Mr. Hellman, and who has been heard to threaten to "get even" with that gentleman for some real or fancied injury. It was printed in circular form and distributed in Los Angeles by another bitter enemy of Mr. Hellman, who was doubtless acting in collusion with the San Francisco editor. We have not seen the article, and don't know what specific charges were made. But we presume they were of such a serious character that it would have been impolitic to permit them to pass unnoticed. The statement published to-day appears to us to be a thoroughly satisfactory answer to any charges which may have been made. Aside from this, the banks standing in San Francisco is conclusive proof of its soundness and is evidence that the money kings of the metropolis have implicit confidence in the executive ability of Mr. Hellman. The Bank of California in a letter to that gentleman, says: "There is no truth in the statement that your bank is in our debt; on the contrary, it has had a credit balance with us for several months, and at times large sums. Should you require funds at any time your telegram will be duly honored." Another letter from the First National Gold Bank of San Francisco says that the F. and M. Bank can draw for $50,000, in addition to the large balance in its favor. On the whole, we think that the attacked bank has no reason to regret the onalaught made by the obscure, and malicious Bassett. It has offered them an opportunity of directing public attention to the admirable standing of the institution, and they will no doubt be benefited by the sympathy which the people always feel for the object of unwarranted, malicious and cowardly attacks. We solicit the patronage of those who require anything in the job printing line. We have hundreds of dollars invested in job printing material, and our facilities are such that we can afford to do every kind of printing at very low rates. The latest news from the South is to the effect that the yellow fever is still raging with unabated violence. In New Orleans 470 new cases occurred on Sunday. The weather there is stormy and cloudy; thermometer 85. In Memphis 300 new cases were reported on Sunday, and about 100 deaths. The following telegram will convey an idea of the situation in Memphis: Chairman Relief Committee, New York: The situation is terrible beyond description. Three thousand cases of fever. Have forty physicians; eight have died. Those from the North sicken in a few days and die. Not a provision house open in the city; only one hotel, the Peabody, to feed doctors and nurses. Wanted everything that pestilence-strioken, famishing and impoverished people need. R. M. MITCHELL, M. D., Chief Director. Sunday's telegrams give the following advice: At Vicksburg 2500 are down sick; Greenville (Missa.) 160 cases; Grenada is no longer a city—it is a morgue. Few recover when once attacked. At Port Gibson (Missa.) there is a great mortality, especially among the colored people. Governor Bishop, of Ohio, has issued a proclamation calling upon the people of that State to assemble in their respective places of worship on the 13th inst. and pray for a cessation of the plague.—From Wednesday's Semi-Weekly. At the last meeting of the Town Trustees, Messrs. Cohen and Look were appointed a committee to confer with property owners and get them to deed sufficient land in front of their property for sidewalks. The town charter gives the Trustees power to condemn land for this purpose, but they very properly do not desire to resort to this extreme measure without first making an effort to secure a voluntary transfer of the required frontage. Uniform sidewalks are a necessity in any town of importance, and their establishment by municipal regulation is one of those things which, the longer it is put off, the greater the difficulty will be to secure the land amiably and enforce the construction of the sidewalks. If Anaheim is ever to secure this much needed improvement, the necessary steps had better be taken now than a year hence.

Various Paragraphs about the Silver Mines. A quiet Saturday night was followed by a dull Sabbath at the mines. There was a noticeable observance of Sunday by the cessation of work, and the quiet of town was disturbed only by the almost constant arrival and departure of teams. Prospecting has decidedly decreased and preparations for developing claims are the order of the day. Several contracts for running tunnels and other means for opening mines have been made; all of which looks more like business than covering the country with notices of locations, and is a decided advance toward developing the character, extent and permanency of the district. The town of Silverado continues its growth by the erection of new buildings for residence and business. The latest additions are a store with a full stock of groceries and a general assortment of mining implements, Geo. H. Hoover, proprietor; a feed yard and stable, with the necessary accommodations and care for horses, by A. W. Evarts; a butcher shop by Cap. Robinson, and a second bakery. A well kept and commodious hotel is felt to be a necessity. The number of people seeking such a place increases daily, and is now sufficiently large to preclude the possibility of the failure of such an enterprise. The location in the mountains is pleasant and healthful. Many people would doubtless be attracted by the novelties of a mining camp, while more would be called by business to patronize a well conducted hotel. This opening will not, however, long continue, for we hear it rumored that parties of business energy are investigating the opportunity. Work at the Blue Light, Florentine, Huntington, and Lake and Sears mines is being prosecuted as usual. Taylor & Co. are running two sets of men, working night and day. The ore now being taken out by them is of an excellent quality. Azbill and Parker, in Shrewabury vicinity, have about twenty sacks of rich galena ore NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

THE ANAHEIM FIRE DEPARTMENT TAKE this method of thanking the people of Anaheim for the very liberal donations made to their sigh; for the great assistance rendered in making it a success; and for the generous hospitality with which they treated our invited guests. Should the time ever unfortunate come when our services as Firemen are called into requisition to save the property of our fellow townmen, the remembrance of their kindness to us will nerve our arms and incite us to renewed exertions. A. C. ROQUES, B. H. WRIGHT, R. LUEDKE, Committee of Anaheim Fire Department. Jottings. In our travels we may find items of interest to the readers of the Gazette. It is not our purpose to take the place of or interfere with any of your local correspondents; but to simply from time to time furnish items and incidents we may find or hear of. So far as possible will furnish items we find, where you have regular correspondents, to your representatives. On our trip down the coast we found good crops in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. About Santa Barbara the bean and corn crops are heavy. At Hueneme and up the Santa Clara valley are large quantities of good barley and fine wheat. The Lompoc and Santa Maria sections yield better than in former years, and farmers are very hopeful. The honey crop all through these counties is very heavy and producers will do well as soon as the market advances. About Los Angeles and San Gabriel the crop of oranges, lemons and limes will be up to the average—some groves are bearing very heavily. The nut crop will also be good. On the Centinela, Santa Anita and other ranches some excellent wheat and barley has been raised, and the Los Angeles warehouses are rapidly filling up with grain on storage. We have seen no better barley than that grown by Barrows, Furrey & Co. and Mr. Nadeau. Parties in these parts who think they have seen barley this year would do well to see some of this grain; it might freshen their memories. On the mesa lands this side of Los Angeles we saw large fields of corn drying up for want of water. About Downey crops are good, and some barley grown in the foot hills near that place far surpasses any we have yet seen about here. I saw fine beans, excellent canary seed, and as usual in that section heavy corn. The merchants there all seemed to have full stock of general merchandise and to be doing a good business. Artesia did so well on the average as we had expected. Some fields were equal to any to be found elsewhere, but others were almost failures. Several fine attractions by the novelities of a mining camp, while more would be called by patronize a well conducted hotel. This opening will not, however, long continue, for we hear it rumored that parties of business energy are investigating the opportunity. Work at the Blue Light, Florentine, Huntington, and Lake and Sears mines is being prosecuted as usual. Taylor & Co. are running two sets of men, working night and day. The ore now being taken out by them is of an excellent quality. Azbill and Parker, in Shrewsbury vicinity, have about twenty sacks of rich galena ore ready for shipment. The Messrs. Buckingham are also taking out a very rich quality of galena. The owners of the Flanigan mine, Gray-back lode, are taking steps necessary to secure a patent. Mr. Lambry, of Los Angeles, Resident Engineer S. P. R. R., Major Kendall and party from San Bernardino, Mr. J. J. Gunn and R. W. Scott of Anaheim, are among the latest arrivals. BANK OF ANAHEIM.

A FARM OF OVER FOUR HUNDRED ACRES, all in a good state of cultivation, with good build- On the mesa lands this side of Los Angeles we saw large fields of corn drying up for want of water. About Downey crops are good, and some barley grown in the foot hills near that place far surpasses any we have yet seen about here. I saw fine beans, excellent canary seed, and as usual in that section heavy corn. The merchants there all seemed to have a full stock of general merchandise and to be doing a good business. Artesia did not look so well on the average as we had expected. Some fields were equal to any to be found elsewhere, but others were almost failures. Several fine corn fields were passed between here and that place. In the Garden Grove section things are promising. About Westminster your regular correspondent keeps you fully advised. We note many improvements, and see where other improvements might be made without doing any harm. Find "way up" corn, measuring 18 feet, and see this place still is and has "some pumpkins." Apples, pears, grapes and figs grown here are unexcelled. The excellent roads about this place should make it notorious. The complete and thorough (?) system of drainage is being pushed rapidly forward with genuine Westminster zeal, which merits Strong comment. A party of over twenty left here this morning to spend about ten days at that delightfully cool (?) place, the big laguna beyond Temescal. Think they will be done brown ere they return. Among these curiosities were T. C. Hull, R. Larter, J. and A. Becket, J. Y. Anderson (how could he leave that boy?) S. J. Finley, Everett Trefethen, and others. It were perhaps uncharitable to question their sanity. The stores and shops here are doing an increasing business. Not much sickness—one case of "shakes" here and one of "shingles" at Garden Grove. Good chance to combine and roof in the entire section against another wet winter. Santa Ana is rapidly improving; a fine class of buildings has been and is being put up. "Silverado on the brain" seemed the prevailing epidemic. We found Bion comfortably located in his handsome suit of new offices. Tustin, Orange, and the Swamp are flattering. As soon as the weather moderates we shall spend several days visiting them, also Anaheim, Fairview, Orangethorpe, Centralia, Norwalk, Downey, Artesia, Garden Grove, and the mea south of here. If we see anything worthy a place in your columns will write further. The latest quotations from the San Francisco corn market are: small yellow, dull at $1.50; large white, an overstock; market heavy at $1.25. This is a heavy falling off, and causes long faces. But producers are themselves to blame. In their hasty greed to get the very top rates ruling a week ago, they resemble a class of animals extensively grown here—hogs—and rushed into the market a lot of green corn wholly unit to sell.
