WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... NOVEMBER 23, 1878. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the places designated. They are authorised to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WESTMINSTER..... ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GROVE..... CON HOWE SANTA ANA..... DR J. N. BURTNETT ORANGE..... K. D. HARWOOD TUSTIN..... C. TUSTIN BAN JUAN CAPISTRANO..... R. EGAN NORWALK..... J. E. CALDWELL BILVERADO..... J. C. HILL TRAVELING AGENT..... A. T. FERDON 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 GRATIFYING PROSPECT. The prevailing custom of holding a public celebration whenever any undertaking of a public nature has been carried to a successful termination, is eminently proper. Whatever contributes to the happiness or prosperity of man ought to be rejoiced over and commemorated in a fitting manner. If ever a community had reason to rejoice at the consummation of a project of vital interest to its prosperity, Anaheim had on the occasion of the completion of the great canal which is hereafter to be depended upon to furnish us with that water without which our country would retrograde. Think for a moment of the results which will assuredly flow from the consummation of this scheme. That great stretch of magnificent country which lies between Anaheim and Flume No. 8, where the picnic was held on Saturday, will now all be made fruitful and capable of yielding large crops of cereals or of growing Semi-tropical or Northern fruits. Without water, the most of this land was, as a matter of fact, absolutely worthless. With water, it is incomparably the best fruit land in the whole State of California, nay, in the whole world. Take the most barren forty acres in The Library Project. EDITOR GAZETTE:—A late issue of your paper contained an editorial suggesting the formation of a public library. The article must have commanded general assent; and with your permission I should like to draw attention to one or two points connected with the subject. 1. The taxes for the current municipal year having been already fixed, the special tax for the library fund cannot be levied this year, and the matter cannot now be acted upon. Still you have done well in drawing attention to it, as the subject can thus be thoroughly ventilated and considered in the meanwhile, and public opinion will be ripe for the action of the Town Trustees it next year they should deem it well to avail themselves of the powers given by the Statute and should levy a library tax. The amount of the tax will be so small that no one will complain. 2. Apart from the immediate benefits to the residents of Anaheim a very strong argument for the formation of a public library is furnished by a great indirect advantage which would result. I refer to the increased attractiveness of the town to the tourist and visitor. Anaheim possesses great natural attractions to the invalid, and there is no reason why we should not draw to our midst a large share of the many persons who, during the winter months, seek in the balmy sunshine of Southern California a refuge from the cruelties of the Eastern climate. Other towns in Southern California have benefited greatly from this class of visitors, but Anaheim so far has had few of them. Santa Barbara has been largely built up on this foundation. When a person in ill health comes to spend weeks or months in a town, it is of great importance to him to be able to procure interesting reading matter conveniently. In the case of persons from the East, where every town has a library of some sort, this is a great consideration. Given two towns with equal advantage in point of climate, situation, etc., but one without any public library and the other with one, it is easy to see that the latter would have an element of satisfaction for the stranger out of health which the other would lack. This is just one of the points in which Santa Barbara has done well. There are two libraries there open to the public for a small charge, and visitors spending a few our country would retrograde. Think for a moment of the results which will assuredly flow from the consummation of this scheme. That great stretch of magnificent country which lies between Anaheim and Flume No. 8, where the picnic was held on Saturday, will now all be made fruitful and capable of yielding large crops of cereals or of growing Semi-tropical or Northern fruits. Without water, the most of this land was, as a matter of fact, absolutely worthless. With water, it is incomparably the best fruit land in the whole State of California, nay, in the whole world. Take the most barren forty acres in the whole tract, place on it a farmer of industry, intelligence and some little means, and see what a transformation he will work upon the face of nature in three years. What could he do in that short time? sneer the cynical or the ignorant. He could have a vineyard come into bearing, oranges, lemons and limes enough to bring him in a few dollars, peaches, apples, figs, plums, and other northern fruits more than he knew what to do with, and he would have raised two or more crops of barley, corn, flax, wheat or other cereals. These are facts—it has been done over and over again in this valley where the conditions have been favorable, and by the word "conditions" is meant an abundance of water and thrift. When the tide of immigration is again turned to Southern California, this large body of land is bound to be settled upon. The water supply is so abundant, the soil is so rich, the location and surroundings are so desirable, that there can be no question as to its attracting people of discernment and inducing them to buy and settle. To advertise the fact that we are possessed of such a superb agricultural country should be the chief end and aim of the people here. Anaheim especially is interested in having the surrounding country thickly settled, and it will be a previous mistake if some concerted action is not taken to induce immigration here. The large business interests of this place are vitally interested in having the vast area of rich and productive land by which Anaheim is encompassed pass into the hands of farmers who will cultivate it; build homes and become valuable citizens, contributing to the wealth and aggrandizement of our famous town. The oft-repeated statement that the Cajon ditch will only irrigate ten thousand acres of land scarcely conveys a proper idea of its capacity. The ditch proper, as it now is, would probably not irrigate more than 10,000 acres, but by taking advantage of all the natural storage places along the line of the canal it could be made to irrigate an additional 5000 acres. This husbanding of the precious water will be done in due time. Meanwhile there is enough and to spare. It may not be out of place here to say a word in regard to the construction of the ditch. It is admitted even by those disposed to carp that it is solidly and substantially built. The flume beside which the picnic was held afforded a striking illustration of the thoroughnesss of the work. Not a drop of water leaked anywhere, and from the portance to him to be able to procure interesting reading matter conveniently. In the case of persons from the East, where every town has a library of some sort, this is a great consideration. Given two towns with equal advantage in point of climate, situation, etc., but one without any public library and the other with one, it is easy to see that the latter would have an element of satisfaction for the stranger out of health which the other would lack. This is just one of the points in which Santa Barbara has done well. There are two libraries there open to the public for a small charge, and visitors spending a few weeks in the town are admitted to their use on the same terms as residents. Were there a public library in Anaheim visitors would find the pleasure of their residence here increased, and would in consequence give more favorable reports to others seeking a health resort. Yours truly, P. Q. The Railroad Front. Material and men continue to be accumulated at the end of the track and work is already going on at a lively rate. Some difficulty has been encountered in obtaining Chinese laborers, but that trouble is being removed. Some seventy white men are now at work and forty-eight Chinamen, who arrived on Wednesday, and twenty-five more who came in yesterday. Several hundred more have been engaged. Our old acquaintance, Lowry, is back here again and is already at work. Some track is to be laid on Monday, the road-bed having been prepared for it for some distance. Judge Underhill has settled private claims interfering with right of way as far as Gila City. Surveyors have set their track stakes for nearly fifteen miles and are still at work. The Pacific Improvement Company seem to be taking the place of the Western Development Company as railroad builders; but the two seem to be so thoroughly mixed up at the front that it is hard to say who is which. Ties keep on coming daily by regular train, besides a construction train of twenty carloads every other day. Twenty-seven thousand have come in this week, making 135,000 now at the front. The first instalment of the 10,000 tons of steel rails lately bought at the East has already reached California, and will begin to arrive here next week. Yuma Sentinel. If there are any who care nothing for parties, but simply for the good of the country, they must be eminently satisfied with the present situation of political affairs. We have a President who is a Republican, but not radical; a Cabinet which represents all the parties ever known in the country, dead or now living; a Supreme Court about equally divided as to party, if the judges are supposed to belong to any party; and a Congress of which each party controls one House. If a thoughtful man should study the theory of our government and then distribute the offices and influence under it to what would appear to be to the advantage of all the people, he could probably do no better than this.

This husbanding of the precious water will be done in due time. Meanwhile there is enough and to spare. It may not be out of place here to say a word in regard to the construction of the ditch. It is admitted even by those disposed to carp that it is solidly and substantially built. The flume beside which the picnic was held afforded a striking illustration of the thoroughness of the work. Not a drop of water leaked anywhere, and from the ground no one would have known that water to the depth of one foot was silently and swiftly coursing along in the box fifty feet above them. The ditch, as is well known, is owned equally by the Cajon Irrigation Company and the Anaheim Water Company, the latter having two months ago purchased a half interest for the sum of twenty thousand dollars. In addition, the Anaheim Water Company have a ditch which, during the greater part of the year, brings water from the river to town. It is only in summer, when water is scarce and evaporation great, that this ditch fails to fulfill its mission. But the Cajon ditch will carry water all seasons, and at the most critical period of the year it can be relied upon to bring down the saving water to drench the parched earth. The officers of the Cajon Company are: J. W. Shanklin, President; R. H. Gilman, Vice President; W. M. McFadden, Secretary; W. E. Shanklin, Treasurer. These gentlemen, together with H. Hetebrink, constitute the Board of Directors. The officers of the Anaheim Water Company are: Theo. Reiser, President; Th. Rimpan, Vice President; John Fischer, Secretary; F. A. Korn, Treasurer; A. Langenberger, Trustee. BERLIN, Nov. 19.—The belief is current that a plot exists for the assassination of all sovereigns. It is stated that the Prussian Judges, when examining Nobeling's case, were led to believe in the existence of a central organization for this purpose. Investigations are going on. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 19.—Col. Jas. Madison Strong, delegate to the Convention from Mariposa and Merced, died at his rooms on K street at 1.15 this morning of pneumonia. The deceased was elected by the Convention to supply the vacancy caused by the death George M. Hardwick, who died between the election in June and the assembling of the Convention. Col. Strong was well known throughout the State as a pioneer, with his brother, in cotton growing in California and the San Joaquin valley plains. Although, from prudential reasons, he had not up to the present time entered into the business, he was preparing plans for the establishment of a cotton factory. Deceased came to California from Mississippi, but was a native of Clark county, Ga. He was born in 1831 and came to California in 1850. CHICAGO, Nov. 19.—The Inter-Ocean has had an interview with Senator Booth, now here for a few days. The Senator stated that he was certain the Republicans could carry California if elections were held to-day. He said the Workingmen's party is strong there yet, and will be the means of carrying the State for the Republicans by causing other parties to unite against it. All parties believe that Chinese immigration should be checked, but Kearneyites alone demand the ultra step of expelling all who are there. He believes that Blaine, Grant, or any one nominated by the Republicans for President will carry the State. He believes that the Republicans cannot carry a single Southern State in 1880, but can carry all the Northern States, with the possible exception of Indiana. WASHINGTON, D. has been circulated that dent Grant will bring States Senator from candidate against Ogden of a deadlock. It is will stand against him whether Grant will act against either. It is be a scheme for killing nation. ATLANTA, Nov. 19.to-day almost unaware States Senator. A Yuma dispatchthe previous week between Maricopa We A Half-acre Orchard. Tree-planting time is close by, and we hope that many small orchards will be set this winter. It is always profitable for a farmer to raise fruit trees for his own use, nor will it take many trees to supply the family. In this article we propose to show what can be done with half an acre of ordinary land, in the way of succession of fruits for family use. Fifty-four trees planted 20x20 feet, may be put on half an acre. This is the right distance for pears, apples, and cherries, but is rather wide for plums and peaches. Still, as we will plant small fruits and berries between, no ground will be wasted. The following kinds are chosen with reference to quality, order of ripening, growth, and productiveness. The proportion between the different fruits has also been carefully studied: APPLES. Early Harvest 1, Red Astracan 1, Gravenstein 1, American Summer Pearmain 1, Skinner's seedling 1, Hays (wine apple) 1, Ben Davis 1.

The Wine the Burgundians Drink. There are about 225,000 acres of vineyards in Burgundy,the most famous being those in the Cote d'Or,of which Dijon is the centre,and the very best brands being grown near that ancient city. These best brands never leave France,fork two good reasons. Their supply is limited,and the French connoisseurs will pay more for it than anybody else. Then a sea voyage entirely spoils their bouquet.Even so short a voyage as that across the English Channel greatly damages them,and in fact,they can ill bear much transportation of any kind.These fine wines are never moved excepting in bottle,and they only leave the few vineyards producing them after they have been kept for some time,and they are then disposed of at auction.They are,of course,but a small porportion of a vast amount of wine that Burgundy produces,average yield being about fifty-five million gallons,valued at $10,000,000.The Burgundians themselves know how to Cherry Plum 1, Columbia 1, Washington 1, Felenberg Prune 1, Eve's Golden Drop 1, Ickworth Imperatrice 1—6.

Three Japanese persimmons, and two quinces may, without injury, be planted between the plums, and a trellis of grapes between the peaches and apricots. We shall have the space between the apples, pears, and cherries, left for small fruits, and here we may plant 1,200 strawberries of Monarch of the West, Peabody's seedling, or whatever else we fancy; 200 cherry currants; 100 Raspberries of the Mammoth Cluster, and the Philadelphia; and 100 Kittatinny Blackberries. There will be room left for vegetables, early and late, some hills of melons, sweet corn, marrowfat peas, and trophy tomatoes. We can make our half acre hold a good deal if we try.—Bulletin. The Mormon Women Protest. SALT LAKE, Nov. 16th.—A mass meeting of Mormon women was held at the theatre this afternoon. It was called in order to pronounce in favor of polygamy, and to counteract the probable influence of the Gentile ladies' anti-polygamy meeting held some few days since. There were some 1200 persons present, mostly old and polygamous. The following is a portion of the resolutions adopted: Resolved That we protest against any enactment of any laws which will deprive American citizens, whether male or female, of any constitutional right, and that we make a united effort to secure the unanimous voice of the women of our faith to plead for the passage of an 18th amendment during the coming session of Congress. Resolved That we solemnly avow our belief in the doctrine of the Patriarchial Order of Marriage, a doctrine which was revealed to and practiced by God's people in past ages, and now re-established on earth by Divine command of Him who is the same yesterday, to-day and forever; a doctrine which, if lived up to and carried out under the direction and the precepts pertaining to it and of the higher principles of our natures, would conduce to long life, strength and glory of the people practicing it; and we therefore endorse it as one of the most important principles of our holy religion and claim the right to practice it. The meeting creates no enthusiasm among the Mormons and disgusts the Gentiles. Mr. C. J. Fox has been engaged during the last week in surveying a portion of Don Juan Foster's Santa Margarita Ranch, in Then a sea voyage entirely spoils their bouquet. Even so short a voyage as that across the English Channel greatly damages them, and in fact they can ill bear much transportation of any kind. These fine wines are never moved excepting in bottle, and they only leave the few vineyards producing them after they have been kept for some time, and they are then disposed of at auction. They are, of course, but a small porportion of a vast amount of wine that Burgundy produces, an average yield being about fifty-five million gallons, valued at $10,000,000. The Burgundians themselves know how to appreciate their famous product, for they consume about one-half of it at home, which will to some extent account for the activity among the bottles all along the line of the railway. They export the remainder, sending it to all parts of the world, and much of "Vin Ordinaire," the great French drink, is sold in Burgundy from seven to ten cents a gallon at the vineyard, so that, even allowing for enormous retail profits, the Parisian can get his wine for ten or twelve cents a quart. The French do not want a strong wine, preferring a weak one, quantity being the object with most of them, for they rarely drink water, and must get fluid of some kind somewhere. Nature, however, adapts itself to almost anything. As the Burgundians are not water drinkers, so we could travel for miles through that famous region without seeing even the smallest stream of water. Nature is not lavish of her gifts where they are not wanted.—Philadelphia Ledger Paris Letter. A Very Strange Story. A South London (England) journal reports a story which reminds us very much of the Gaffer Hexams and Rogue Riderhoods of the Thames. A drowning man from the Princess Alice offered a boatman £5 to save him. The latter called out that he "could not do it for that price." "I'll give £10!" screamed the half-drowned man. "It's worth more than that, Guvnor," composed returned the waterman. "£15 then," pantingly replied the drowner, almost with his last breath. "No: but I'll tell you wot, I'll save you for £20." There was no other alternative, for the boatman evidently meant what he said, and the victim consented. He was hauled into the boat and rowed ashore, and directly they got to the land the boatman demanded the money. Said the late victim: "I would have given you £5 willingly, but since you have shown yourself such a black-hearted scoundrel, you shall have nothing." The boatman swore and stormed, but without avail, and all he could get was the name and address of the man, who said he might, if he liked,"take the law out of him." The boatman means to go to law, and he has commenced an action against the man for a breach of contract. A well-known South London solicitor has the case in hand. An incident illustrating the amenities of Oriental life is thus related by the London Truth: I wonder how many men on board Mr. C. J. Fox has been engaged during the last week in surveying a portion of Don Juan Foster's Santa Margarita Ranch, in San Mateo Valley, near the Los Angeles line, for the settlers who are about to colonize the Ranch under the agreement recently entered into between Don Juan and Mr. Soto. The valley is about one mile wide, and runs back several miles into the mountains; it has running water, rich soil and a good deal of timber. There are already on the ground three families of settlers and several single men, and more are now on the way. They have horses and stock, farming implements, etc., and have been contracting at San Luis Rey for a quantity of grain seed. This Santa Margarita Colony is now fairly started, and will undoubtedly be a great success. The plan contemplates the subdivision of the ranch as fast as settled; and when demanded, a town site will be surveyed off, and a wharf built. Mr. Fox goes back at the end of this week to continue the survey. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 19.—A report has been circulated that the friends of President Grant will bring him forward for United States Senator from Illinois as the third candidate against Oglesby and Logan in case of a deadlock. It is not believed that either will stand against him. It is also doubted whether Grant will allow his name to be used against either. It is thought, by some, to be a scheme for killing his Presidential nomination. ATLANTA, Nov. 19.—General Gordon was to-day almost unanimously elected United States Senator. A Yuma dispatch of the 16th says that the previous week it rained for 48 hours between Maricopa Wells and Tucson. An incident illustrating the amenities of Oriental life is thus related by the London Truth: I wonder how many men on board our fleet in the sea of Marmora are aware that at the back of Prince's island, not 70 years ago, the whole harum of the Sultan Selim was drowned, to the number of 300. The said Selim had been murdered by his nephew, Moustapha, who in turn was murdered by his brother Mahmoub. This last was much attached to his uncle Selim, and he suspected that the women had aided in his uncle's murder, or at all events had made no effort to save his life. Many of them were quite young, and the harem included both French, Italian and German girls. According to the orders of this ferocious barbarian, each one was tied up in a sack, and the next morning at daybreak they embarked in barges from the quays of the seraglios, and were taken by the eunuchs to the place appointed, when they were successively thrown into the sea. Their screams were heard miles away, and some not only got out of the sacks, but threw themselves into the water and endeavored to swim ashore. They were overtaken by the guards and killed, either by being run down or by being beaten on the head with the heavy oars. An Amusing Incident. While the educated camel Romeo, of Ryland's circus, was drinking at the river yesterday morning, it attracted quite a crowd of Indians, who, becoming more venturesome than prudent, approached too near, when one of the squaws was seized about the place where she ought to wear the Grecian bend and was thrown into the river with her head down, which left her bare poles in the air. The balance of the Indians sang her death song while Ned Tracy, the clown, attached the stars and stripes to one of her legs and rescued her and no Indian fools around that camel now—Yuma Expositor.
