WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...OCTOBER 19, 1873. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette of 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. BURNETT ORANGE...N. D. HARWOOD TUSTIN...C. TUTIN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO...N. E. EGAN NORWALK...J. E. CALDWELL SILVERADO...J. C. HILL ABOUT FARMING. Every year we hear loud and long continued complaints from our farmer friends in regard to their crops, or the prices obtained for them. The causes to which the failure of crops are ascribed are legion. First, we are told that it is owing to the drought; next, it is too wet, then it is the unexceptional early rains, which found our farmers unprepared, and then the unprecedented late rains, which found them still in the same blissful state of incertia, and then again there are the hot winds, the fogs, the hot sun and the cloudy weather, the wire worms, the grasshoppers, the caterpillars and many other evils too numerous to mention. Or if perchance the crop should run the gauntlet of all these evils, and prove in spite of the fates a large one, then the price obtained is unsatisfactory and we are told that the cost of production exceeds the market value of the produce. We sympathize with farmers in their misfortunes, and do not intend to criticise their doings or sayings, but we wish to call attention to the wide-spread discontent which unhappily prevails among them, and if possible to suggest something which will have a tendency to alleviate their condition and be of service to them in the future. What has given rise to the general assertion, if not the prevalent belief, that "farming will not pay in California?" Is this warranted by the experience of the past, and is it a just and correct conclusion from a fair test under favorable circumstances? Or is it not rather, the lingering doubt, resulting from fortunes, and do not intend to criticize their doings or sayings, but we wish to call attention to the wide-spread discontent which unhappily prevails among them, and if possible to suggest something which will have a tendency to alleviate their condition and be of service to them in the future. What has given rise to the general assertion, if not the prevalent belief, that "farming will not pay in California?" Is this warranted by the experience of the past, and is it a just and correct conclusion from a fair test under favorable circumstances? Or is it not rather, the lingering doubt, resulting from the crude efforts of our early farming ventures, undertaken under the most unfavorable circumstances and many attendant disadvantages which are yearly disappearing? We think the former question should be answered in the negative, while the latter should be answered in the affirmative. We know of a number of instances, where farming operations prosecuted under favorable circumstances, in this State have paid enormous profits for the amount of capital invested—such as would make glad the heart of the Eastern farmer, and cause his sunbrowned visage to be lightened by a smile as bright as one of our own lovely May days. We believe that farming is yet in its infancy in Southern California, and especially is this the case with our immediate surroundings. The drought of 1876-7 has caused thbusands of sheep to be driven off into Arizona and New Mexico, and hundreds of acres of fertile land, heretofore used as sheep range, is now open to cultivation and must eventually be cultivated in order to render it profitable and remunerative to its owners. The rapid progress now being made in the development of our irrigating facilities, will soon bring under cultivation a large area of the mesa land lying north and west of Anaheim, which could not be successfully cultivated heretofore during dry seasons. The alkali and heavy sod and wire grass on our damp lands lying south and southwest of town, are fast disappearing before the plowshare of our thrifty farmers, and those lands are proving more productive every year. We think that a change in the system or mode of farming, together with the growing of a diversity of crops, will add greatly to the profit of the venture. Take for instance barley, the crop generally grown in this section, and in many instances grown to the exclusion of all others. At present prices it not only proves unremunerative, but in many instances actually brings the producer in debt. The growing of barley as a source of profit has long since ceased to be an experiment. Year after year our farmers have demonstrated the fact to their own satisfaction as well as to that of the community at large, that growing barley does not pay, and yet from one cause or another they continue to plant it season after season, thus placing themselves in the position of men struggling against fate, and hoping against hope, with the light of past experience before their eyes. How much longer will our intelligent farmers continue to raise a crop which is unproblemous, and becomes the means of diffusing more widely the knowledge of the wonderful productions and various glories of the exhibits. Are not all our babies prizes within themselves? And why submit yourselves and them to the humiliation of defeat? For what committee can discover baby's sweetest charms, which to mother's eye place it par excellence in beauty's ranks. Only she knows where the dimples love to hide, or can call forth baby's sweetest smiles and cunning ways. As to features, they are not scarcely ever sufficiently developed to determine the grade of perfection in which they deserve to be ranked, and consequently must be judged by the same standard as the pigs and cows, viz: the largest and fattest under a certain age receives the premium. Now, it seems to me we are doing the dear little innocent things an injustice, to exhibit them along with the rest of the live stock, and positively bringing them down to their level. They are any of them pretty enough, and besides, as has been proven in many instances, the really prettiest baby does not always receive the prize, and if it should, would we love our babies any better than before? I think not. This petty triumph does not materially benefit it; has no influence whatever upon its after life, does not even assure us that baby will retain all this loveliness when grown, and besides all this, baby soon asserts its independence, and after a few months discards the prize buggy and "feets it." So many babies on exhibition are indeed an attractive sight to all admirers of infantile beauty, but pet is not always on its best behavior when the important time arrives, but frequently puckers up its little face, digs its fists into its eyes, and kicks and squalls for the benefit of the spectators generally. Imagine the state of manna's mind at such a time when she feels that all hope of baby's face being appreciated is destroyed. Then to quietly witness some other mamma rolling her darling around in the gaily decorated carriage is indeed too much to expect from frail humanity, when they and their particular friends "know baby ought to have gotten it, and the decision was really unfair." But, friends, the honor is short-lived, and another year's baby show will witness a similar scene, when some one else's baby will bear away the laurels, and totally eclipse your own little one's glory. I am somewhat opposed to the public exhibition of the babies and certainly think it decidedly preferable to hold these shows in our private parlors, where baby reigns supreme and becomes upon all occasions the centre of attraction, where admiring friends constantly find some hitherto undiscovered beauty until they are justifiable in pronouncing it the "dearest, sweetest baby ever was seen." Yes, better keep them at home, because if they do not get the prize their parents will never be convinced—which is just and proper—but that the committee were woefully mistaken; and, after all, the judges best calculated to decide upon baby's merits are papa and mamma.

With the light of past experience before their eyes. How much longer will our intelligent farmers continue to raise a crop which is unprofitable? We hold it to be the sheerest folly for our farmers to produce more barley than will suffice for home consumption. When our farmers have provided themselves with good commodious barns and secure graneries, and are in a position to store their grain on their ranches, and hold it until the price is remunerative, then, but not until then, will it prove profitable to raise barley in this section, in excess of home demand. At present but few of our farmers have barns and graneries, and the majority cannot afford to build them, and if they had them, they could not hold their grain any length of time. If our farmers will sow but a limited area in barley the coming season, and plant a diversity of crops, such as corn, pumpkins, beans, flax, castor beans, chevalier barley, wheat (Odessa), oats, rye, onions, potatoes, etc., etc., and turn their attention more to raising vegetables, chickens, turkeys, ducks, pigs and good draft horses, milch cows, and to making butter and cheese, and set out a number of shade and fruit trees each year—and in short raise everything they and their families need for home consumption, except sugar, coffee and clothing, and be in a position to put upon the market at the proper time such crops as will pay more than the cost of production, we venture the assertion that at the end of another season peace and plenty will take the place of the present widespread discontent among our farmers, and a new era of prosperity will have dawned upon them, which will be permanent in its character and lasting in its benefits. William Vanderbilt raised 900 sacks of very fine potatoes on 25 acres in Tomales this year, and they are reported quite sound. Burke's Big Lawsuit. SAN-FRANCISCO, October 15.—In the 23d District Court to-day action was commenced by John H. Burke against J. C. Flood, J. W. Mackey, J. G. Fair, the Pacific Mill and Mining Company and Consolidated Virginia Company, to compel defendants, with the exception of the last named, to refund to the Consolidated Virginia Company $26,015,000 paid to the Pacific Mill and Mining Company for the reduction of ores, including the value of the tailings retained by the former company, and the value of certain lots of land in Virginia City, sold to the former company for a nominal sum and alleged to be worth $15,000. The complaint alleges that these transactions occurred during the time that Flood, O'Brien, Barron and Wallace were Directors of both companies. The value of the tailings is alleged to be $20,000,000 and the cost of reduction $6,000,000. The Consolidated Virginia Company is made a defendant in the action because the company refused to bring the above suit and it is desired by the plaintiff to bring the company into Court. Funeral of the Late General Colton. SAN FRANCISCO, October 15.—The funeral services of the late D. D. Colton were held at 2 o'clock to day, at Grace Church. The services were conducted by Rev.

A Plain Violation of Law $15,000 for Squirrel Poison. EDITOR GAZETTE.—In the tax levy for the present fiscal year, made by the Board of Supervisors at their last meeting, I find the levy for "school fund" set down at 15 cents on each $100 of taxable property. According to Section 1817 of the Political Code, the minimum amount that a Board of Supervisors can levy "shall be such a sum as will be equal to three dollars for each census child in the county." There are 10,-446 census children in the county. Three dollars to each census child would give $31,-338 county school fund. The levy made by the Supervisors will, after deducting fifteen per cent. from the total assessment roll, as required by Section 1818, only give about $20,000, or less than two dollars to each census child. This deficit in the school fund, caused either by ignorance of the law or false economy, will compel many of the schools to cut short their terms from one to two months. In the same levy I find the squirrel fund put down at 10 cents on the $100. Fifteen thousand dollars tax levied to buy poison for the squirrels in the foot-hills! This will give about two dollars county fund to each census squirrel. Apparently the census child and the census squirrel are equal in the estimation of the Los Angeles Supervisors. Whenever a fit of economy seizes our Supervisors, it always seems to impel them to attack the school fund. The road fund and salary fund stand the same this year as last. The current expense fund is increased two cents, while the school fund—the most important of the three—is cut down from 20 cents last year to 15 cents this year. Who ever heard of a deficit in the fund for paying the salaries of our county officials? Would it not be wiser economy to cut two months' pay from the salaries of these officials, who now receive all the way from $2,000 to $10,-000 a year, than to close up the schools a month or two earlier than the usual time for closing? Not one of those overpaid county officials works harder, or possesses more ability and education, than the average school teacher. The wages of the officials range from $150 to $800 per month; the course of the tax levy for the present fiscal year, made by the Board of Supervisors at their last meeting, I find the levy for "school fund" set down at 15 cents on each $100 of taxable property.

The wages of the officials range from $150 to $800 per month; the course of the tax levy for the present fiscal year, made by the Board of Supervisors at their last meeting, I find the levy for "school fund" set down at 15 cents on each $100 of taxable property. According to Section 1817 of the Political Code, the minimum amount that a Board of Supervisors can levy "shall be such a sum as will be equal to three dollars for each census child in the county." There are 10,-446 census children in the county. Three dollars to each census child would give $31,-338 county school fund. The levy made by the Supervisors will, after deducting fifteen per cent. from the total assessment roll, as required by Section 1818, only give about $20,000, or less than two dollars to each census child. This deficit in the school fund, caused either by ignorance of the law or false economy, will compel many of the schools to cut short their terms from one to two months. In the same levy I find the squirrel fund put down at 10 cents on the $100. Fifteen thousand dollars tax levied to buy poison for the squirrels in the foot-hills! This will give about two dollars county fund to each census squirrel. Apparently the census child and the census squirrel are equal in the estimation of the Los Angeles Supervisors. Whenever a fit of economy seizes our Supervisors, it always seems to impel them to attack the school fund. The road fund and salary fund stand the same this year as last. The current expense fund is increased two cents, while the school fund—the most important of the three—is cut down from 20 cents last year to 15 cents this year. Who ever heard of a deficit in the fund for paying the salaries of our county officials? Would it not be wiser economy to cut two months' pay from the salaries of these officials, who now receive all the way from $2,000 to $10,-000 a year, than to close up the schools a month or two earlier than the usual time for closing? Not one of those overpaid county officials works harder, or possesses more ability and education, than the average school teacher. The wages of the officials range from $150 to $800 per month; they have been a subject of wonder to uninitiated, why a candidate, sure to be in in minority; is willing to go through a canvass only for their purpose of being defeated. Butthe mystery seems to be solved. When a struggling candidate in this position has received a nomination he comes straightway to Washington and gives assurances seemingly as strong as proof from Holy Writ; that he can be elected if he can only get some money—greenbacks will do—sent into his district. Within last two or three weeks campaign committees have been importuned to send money into such districts;the candidate is anxious,and whilethe committee know thatthe moneywillnotavailtooverturndecidedmajorities,thecandidateisso solicitousasto breedthe suspicionthatifmoneyisgivensomebodywillbethebeneficiary.Anyhowitseemsthat“moneymakesthemarego”inpoliticsasmuchaswhereelse.Unquestionablyareasonableamount portant of the three—is cut down from 20 cents last year to 15 cents this year.

Not one of those overpaid county officials works harder, or possesses more ability and education, than the average school teacher. The wages of the officials range from $150 to $800 per month; the wages of the teachers, from $50 to $80 per month, and even this meagre allowance is liable to be cut down at the whim of some would-be economist in the Board of Supervisors. If the Constitutional Convention can evolve some system by which such economists will be forced to try their economy on some other fund than the school fund, that body will deserve the thanks of the present and future generations.

Two of the men concerned in the theft were captured, but the jewels could not be found. At the time the two were placed in prison, one Lamieville was also there, but presently escaped. Soon afterward he called upon a jailor, who had been kind to him in prison, and told him that he had overheard the two jewel robbers talking, and learned that they had hid the gems, and, sure enough, at the place designated they were found. Lamieville was subsequently made a military officer. In the reign of Louis XVIII these jewels were valued at $4,200,000. WASHINOTON, Oct. 16.—The Commissioner of the General Land Office decides that the Reynold's survey of the northern boundary of the rancho Santa Margarita Las Flores, San Diego county, is incorrect and must be greatly modified to conform to the Department decision made in 1876. This will necessitate a reduction of its vast area of 156,000 acres to about 106,000 acres, Mr. Yung Wing, Phlempotentiary, second in rank, Mr. Yeh, first secretary of the legation, Mr. Bartlett, American secretary, seven attaches and the servants specially educated for this service. They have five cooks, three Chinese and two American, and two capacious kitchens are required for their use. The cuisine is intended to be such as to tickle the palate of the most fastidious epicure of the Orient. In the sleeping arrangements the Chinese is not like "melican man," he "sleepee alonee." Mr. Chin is an old man, a widower, with a profession of silver hair, a keen black eye, and a complexion of pure olive. One of the attaches is Jeremiah Yocum, whose father was a sea captain from Cape Cod, Mass., and secured favor in the eyes of Chinese Mongols by rescuing some Mandarins at sea in 1841. The son was educated in Chinese matters, and had high honors conferred upon him in return for his father's kindness. His grandfather went to Cape Cod from Huntington county, Pa., in 1817. The San Francisco Underwriters have elected a Chinese insurance broker—by name Wah Kee. There were other candidates for preferment, four of them being Chinamen. Amongst the black-balled Caucasians were several men of good standing. The public will understand the importance of the position when it is stated that it is a rule of the Board that no insurance company can pay commissions to any person for business obtained unless that person has been regularly elected a broker by the Board. PORTLAND, Oct. 4.—Eugene A. Cronin, one of the candidates on the Tilden Electoral ticket in this State at the last Presidential election, died in this city yesterday, after a long and painful illness. Mr. Cronin was one of the prominent and leading attorneys of the State. He came to Portland 12 years ago, and has practiced law constantly. He was 37 years of age, a native of New York, and unmarried. During the recent Electoral muddle Mr. Cronin attained much notoriety through his connection with the same. LONDON, October 16.—A dispatch from Venice says that Count Von Bismarck, nephew of the German Chancelor, committed suicide at Venice yesterday by shooting himself with a revolver. The act was caused by physical suffering. Orange Orchard For Sale. 25 ACRES NEAR ANAHEIM, IN ORANGE, Lemon and lime trees. The trees are six years old. Four Hundred Dollars In Cash required.
