WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 22, 1879 AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette as the place 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. BURTNEET ORANGE.....N. D. HARWOOD TUTIN.....C. TUSTIN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANGO.....R. EJIAN NORWALK.....J. E. CALDWELL SILVERADO.....J. C. HILL TRAVELING AGENT.....A. T. PERDON A WANT SUPPLIED. We are now preparing to issue from our job office a small pamphlet containing a number of articles descriptive of this section of Los Angeles county. It will contain just the kind of information sought after by intending immigrants. The character of the soil will be described; the prices of improved and unimproved lands will be given; the productions of the country will be enumerated, and the climatic attractions set forth. Short descriptive articles of Westminster, Garden Grove and other places will be given, written especially for us by our correspondents. Anaheim will be written up not only by the editor, but by Mr. Wm. R. Olden, and altogether it will be a compact and comprehensive little volume, which will we predict, find its way into the most remote corners of the earth. It will be a valuable advertising medium for those who have land to sell, as it is designed to fall into the hands of those who wish to buy and settle here. Applications for advertising space should be made without delay. The readers of the Gazette could not have failed to note the very remarkable report made by the committee on seedling lemons, at the Riverside fair. The committee, it will be remembered, thought the seedling lemon entirely worthless and juneworthy of recommendation. As might have been expected, the report was received with marked disdain and destruction to field and the abodes of men. We are aware from those terrible floods that you date such large sections of the coast of the rocky mountains. There are sources of malarial poison, and we entirely exempt from disease except persons of emigrants from the East sections. RIVERSIDE REVISITED. A Review of the Citrus Fair held last week. EDITOR GAZETTE—Some four years ago I visited Riverside for the first time. It was then an aspiring village on the site of the present town, which then showed much sign of life and energy. But I confess (although I knew that improvements had taken place) my surprise at their extent and the thorough and substantial manner in which they had been made. This is particularly the case in the Arlington settlement, where the roads are kept in admirable order, and are in marked contrast to those in old Riverside, which are now rough and full of mud holes. RIVERSIDE Has been fortunate in being settled with a population of a most desirable kind—Northern and Eastern people of considerable means and culture, and all of the improvements in the settlement are of the tasteful and substantial description that would be expected from that kind of people. Naturally, in a settlement devoted to the culture of fruit, the planters must have an income to depend upon whilst they are waiting for their trees to bear. And although men of small means probably find it hard to wait for "the good time coming," still as a settlement it is an undoubted success, and I wish that Southern California had many thousands more of the same kind of people to plant and improve vacant lands. THE CITRUS FAIR. Was magnificent. I doubt if anything equal to it has ever occurred in the United States. All sections of Southern California sent their best specimens of citrus fruits, and the display was surprisingly fine—far beyond what I had expected to see. Considering the fact that this is the first year that her trees had borne to any extent, Riverside did admirably. Being at home, she exhibited as much as all the others together. The show of raisins was remarkable. In this product I think Riverside takes the precedence of any other part of California. She should work this lead and make it one of her specialties. The market is large and they can hardly be considered profitable product. The display of ORANGE. The Soil, Climate, and Produce this Noted Settlement BY DR. K. M. JOSLIE. EDITOR GAZETTE—At your request prepared a short article in reference soil; adaptations, and resources, price of lands in Orange, with the mentions to those seeking homes in Orange for settlement. Orange is thirty-three miles from Los Angeles, on the south side Santa Ana river; comprises a tract measuring about six miles from south, and about the same distance to west. It is bounded by the fields on the Santa Ana mountains on the north which the land descends to the ocean; gradual slope of about twenty five mile. It is distant from the ocean fourteen miles. In climate it is untry by any like section of the world. Mometer generally ranges throughout year from 45° to 96°, and the traction which give us a regular daily breeze ocean during most of the year, sufficient amount of moisture to raise air balmy and pleasant at all seasons never so warm as to be oppressive laborers, and we are exempt enthousiasms of thunder and lightning electrical tornadoes which in other of our country are yearly visitants desolation and destruction to field and the abodes of men. We are aware from those terrible floods that you date such large sections of the coast of the rocky mountains. There are sources of malarial poison, and we entirely exempt from disease except persons of emigrants from the East sections. THE SOIL. But as people cannot live on cliff I will speak of the soil and its oak The soil is various, consisting of lily earth, a rich, sandy loam, and clay. All the soils are deep and in richness. The entire section by the Santa Ana river and th It will be a valuable advertising medium for those who have land to sell, as it is designed to fall into the hands of those who wish to buy and settle here. Applications for advertising space should be made without delay. The readers of the Gazette could not have failed to note the very remarkable report made by the committee on seedling lemons at the Riverside fair. The committee, it will be remembered, thought the seedling lemon entirely worthless and unworthy of recommendation. As might have been expected, the report was received with marked disfavor, and the result was that the whole subject was referred back to a committee consisting of the two committees on seedling and budded lemons, which committee was enlarged by the addition of three more persons, viz.: W. S. Chapman and L. H. Titus, of San Gabriel, and Richard Melrose, of Anaheim. The report of the Committee on Comparison of Seedling and Budded Oranges was referred back to the committee, which was enlarged by adding thereto the names of H. K. W. Bent, of Los Angeles, H. J. Rudisil, of Riverside, and N. W. Blanchard, of Ventura county. This committee and the Committee on Lemons are to meet in Los Angeles on Friday, March 7th, to act upon samples of fruit to be sent to the Society from different parts of the State, and to report to the annual meeting of the Society, to be held next day. The Committee on Comparison of Budded and Seedling Oranges, which made their report after we had retired, said that they had tested ten seedlings with ten different budded varieties, with the following result: The seedlings mere found superior in six cases, no difference in one, inferior in three. The three superior varieties are the Malta Blood, Navel and Du Roi. The difference, however, was but slight. We may be permitted here to remark that the Gazette is the only paper that has published the committee reports in full. Flax Seed. Mr. Geo. H. Peck, agent of the Pacific Oil and Lead Works, San Francisco, in a letter to the Gazette concerning flax culture, says: "Mr. A. Moore, of Pescadero in April, 1878, sowed flax seed on low and damp land. Thinking it would not come up, in May he sowed on the same land fifty pounds of barley to the acre. The result was no weeds, but seven hundred pounds of plump barley and one thousand pounds of superior flax seed to the acre. Barley thus sown banishes the weeds. On upland about thirty-five pounds of flax seed should be sown to the acre, and if there be danger of weeds, about twenty five pounds of barley should be put with the flax. On strong, damp lands as high as sixty pounds of flax seed may be used. Experience shows that ground may be too well smoothed for sowing. The best ground to sow on is where the plow has left it even. Flax will easily bear two inches covering. It is best to harrow in the seed, and if not likely to rain soon, drag it over. All sections of Southern California sent their best specimens of citrus fruits, and the display was surprisingly fine—far beyond what I had expected to see. Considering the fact that this is the first year that her trees had borne at home, she exhibited as much as all the others together. The show of raisins was remarkable. In this product I think Riverside takes the precedence of any other part of California. She should work this lead and make it one of her specialties. The market is large and they can hardly be considered a perishable product. The display of other dried fruits was creditable. There seems to be a disposition on the part of those who control the Southern California Horticultural Society to avoid a fair contest of the merits of the different kinds of orange trees. Last fall at Los Angeles the trees budded on the China lemon stock were not permitted to compete with the trees budded on orange stocks. This was wise, if not fair, for the superiority of the China lemon trees so manifest that there was no possible chance for the trees on the orange stock to get a premium. By ruling them out the latter had the field to themselves. The idea seems borrowed from. THE RACING FRATERNITY, Who will always rule out a dangerous horse who might win, if they can invent any excuse for doing so. In competing for the premium at Riverside the same plan was adopted. It was decided by the Society that, in order to make the competition equal and fair, the specimens of the different fruits selected for the committee to test should be known by numbers, which of course would conceal ownership or locality, and as Mr. Rudisill of Riverside had the record of all the exhibits, he was appointed to choose his own assistants and select the specimens of each kind of fruit. He had no instructions to exclude any kind of oranges, but without instructions or authority he ruled out from competition several very large and handsome lots of oranges from Anaheim and Orange, on the ground that they were not true oranges, being from China lemon or other stocks. It struck me that as the oranges in question were PARTICULARLY FINE SPECIMENS, They might have been dangerous competitors to Riverside, but the rule that was good against Anaheim and Orange was not enforced against Riverside; for I find from a statement in the San Francisco Bulletin that "the Du Roi orange that took the second premium was from a tree budded on China lemon stock grown in Riverside." The information accompanied a box of specimen oranges sent to that paper from Riverside, and ought to be correct. Will Mr. Rudisill please explain why an unfair and unauthorized rule should be enforced against Anaheim and Orange and not against Riverside? But it is none the less a victory for the China lemon orange, which is so strenuously insisted is an inferior fruit. With regard to the difference in flavor between the oranges grown on China lemon to it has ever occurred in the United States. All sections of Southern California sent their best specimens of citrus fruits, and the display was surprisingly fine—far beyond what I had expected to see. Considering the fact that this is the first year that her trees had borne at home, she exhibited as much as all the others together. The show of raisins was remarkable.

By ruling them out the latter had the field to themselves. The idea seems borrowed from. THE SOIL. But as people cannot live on cliff I will speak of the soil and its color. The soil is various, consisting of clay earth, a rich, sandy loam, and clay. All the soils are deep and in richness. The entire section by the Santa Ana river and creek. The water is brought from Ana river in a canal 14 miles in feet wide by three feet deep, and all times an abundance of water every foot of land in the district. Was built and is owned by the public district, and the water regulation that no one can use the water for irrigation except their land is covered stock of the company. Every district is easily irrigable, and rangeement compels all land owners stockholders in the company. PRODUCTIONS. Although the productive capacity of the soil are almost boundless, yet adaptation is to the culture of fruits. Of these orange juice olive and grape take precedence is entirely exempt from de frosts, and while almost all other State have during the past suffered from the blighting-effort Orange has escaped. Our trees eat plants have continued to grow no mark of injury. The district settled five years, and then oranges alone this year number by count which have netted from per hundred, and I was informed our citizens that from lime tree old, covering about a fourth oak has received for the fruit, net; dollars There are now set and given 120,000 orange and lemon truer greater part are of the choices budded fruit. The finest raisins any other country are grown annd yearly find their way to t he world. The district is rapidly filling of intelligence and culture. A churches are organized and Church has a commodious hour A graded school consisting of many items is maintained and ably old and experienced teachers. THE PRICE OF LAND. In Orange ranges for unimproved $75 per acre, according to general; however,$25 to $40 asked. But few improved sale.The value of such would kind and amount of improvemen trees etc.The population o thus far are mainly Eastern per brought with them their civilized Eastern friends who contemple but seven hundred pounds of superior flax and one thousand pounds of superior flax seed to the acre. Barley thus sown banishes the weeds. On upland about thirty-five pounds of flax seed should be sown to the acre, and if there be danger of weeds, about twenty-five pounds of barley should be put with the flax. On strong, damp lands as high as sixty pounds of flax seed may be used. Experience shows that ground may be too well smoothed for sowing. The best ground to sow on is where the plow has left it even. Flax will easily bear two inches covering. It is best to harrow in the seed, and if not likely to rain soon, drag it over. A machinist, accustomed to such work, is here with the view of making an attachment to a thresher which will separate barley and flax from each other, and at the same time throw out all foul seed. The attachment makes the flax seed clean and marketable at the thresher without any afterwork and at much less trouble and expense than herefore. The best land for flax is loam with a tendency to clay. Flax should be sown as early as possible, it being a cold weather crop. Owing to the backwardness of the season and the prospect of spring rains, several parties will chance the putting in of this as late as the first of March. On the coast, where fogs prevail, the sowing on damp land may be deferred to May. In Los Angeles county, flax is harvested about the middle of June. On the coast the harvesting may be as late as September." Mr. Peck is putting 80 acres of his farm at El Monte into flax. Dennis Kearney's Trip. The line of Dennis Kearney's southern trip has been definitely settled upon, and the agitator will start on or about March 1st. From San Francisco he will go first to Redwood City, from there to Santa Clara, to San Jose, to Gilroy, to Watsonville, to Santa Cruz, to Hollister, to Salinas City, to Monterey, to Soledad, to San Benito, to San Miguel Mission, to San Luis Obispo, to La Puertasima, to Santa Barbara, to San Buenaventura, to Los Angeles, to Anaheim, to San Juan, to Santa Margarita, to San Diego, to San Bernardino, to Bakersfield, to Kernville, to Vinalia, to Sycamore, to Freano, to Merced, to Mariposa, to Modesto, to Sonora, to San Andreas, to Stockton, to Lodi, to San Leandro, and closing at Martinez. He will probably arrive home in May.—S. F. Call. Du Roi orange that took the second premium was from a tree budded on China lemon stock grown in Riverside." The information accompanied a box of specimen oranges sent to that paper from Riverside, and ought to be correct. Will Mr. Radisill please explain why an unfair and unauthorized rule should be enforced against Anaheim and Orange and not against Riverside? But it is none the less a victory for the China lemon orange, which it is so strenuously insisted is an inferior fruit. With regard to the difference in flavor between the oranges grown on China lemon stocks and those grown on orange stocks, it is in my opinion formed from what I consider an unsatisfactory and insufficient test, to wit: tasting unripe fruit, that the latter has a slight advantage in flavor. This I concede, but on the other hand the former makes a tree of more vigorous growth and bears larger and much handsomer fruit, that I think the advantages more than counterbalance the disadvantages. Nine purchasers out of ten are governed by their eyes, and will buy the largest and handsomest fruit in preference to smaller, even though it may be better flavored. FROST. What I saw of the effects of frost at Riverside agrees entirely with my theory of the cause. The lower lands of the settlement, which were overflowed by the frosty night-air from the mountains, were badly damaged, whilst the higher land above a certain level entirely escaped; even the lime trees show little damage. I think that the planting of thick hedges of Monterey cypress would be a good thing for Riverside. They would answer for a fence and windbreak, and would also protect their young plantations from frost. For any of these purposes the cypress is far superior to the eucalyptus, which I consider a very much over-estimated tree. Respectfully, Wm. R. Olden. The Wheatland Recorder says a retired fireman is an ex-spurt. Water joke! Fire away, somebody else.—San Francisco Bulletin. It looks as if you were engine that joke of the Recorder. Hose next?

But few improved pigs sale. The value of such would the kind and amount of improvied trees, etc. The population of thus far are mainly Eastern people brought with them their civilization California; we present the Orange for their consideration;ern Pacific Railroad runs with the village and carriages are arising at the station for the convengers. THE POPULATION Of Orange numbers about nine At the centre is a commodious stores of dry goods; groceries; the sale of agricultural implement store; one shoe shop; one lawn establishment; a post office; etc. Were I to describe the name district and its surround occupy too much space; and I simply say that it is surpassing beautiful.

Soil, Climate, and Productions of this Noted Settlement BY DR. K. M. JOSLIN. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. About 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon the ferry steamers El Capitan and Alameda, plying between San Francisco and Oakland Point, collided in mid passage, in a dense fog. The boats remained fast to each other for several minutes, and it is owing to this circumstance that no lives were lost. El Capitan sunk to the hurricane deck in twenty minutes. The wreck has been brought to Meigg's wharf. The Constitutional Convention has ordered that the proposed constitution be printed in pamphlet form, and that a copy be mailed to each voter in the State. There was a slight skirmish at the Capitol Sunday morning. Some of the delegates to the Convention got into a dispute as to what was the value of a certain mining stock some years ago, and high words were passed between them. Klein called Ringold an ignoramus, and the latter threw a cane-botomed chair at Klein. The chair missed the mark and struck Delegate Turner of Sierra, an innocent non-combatant. Wellin and Beerstecher interfered and prevented the effusion of blood. News was received at Sacramento on Sunday of the death on Friday at Kansas City, of Judge Louis Ramage, aged 63. He was recently District Judge of the Sixth Judicial District, Yolo and Sacramento counties. He was widely known and greatly esteemed. The jury in the Caulfield murder case on trial at Sacramento, went out Saturday at 6:20 P.M. It came in Sunday at 12:55 P.M., and announced it could not agree, and was then discharged. It stood seven for acquittal to five for conviction. The five at last voted for manslaughter. Hon. James T.

Go To But as people cannot live on climate alone, will speak of the soil and its capabilities. The soil is various, consisting of a fine gravel earth, a rich sandy loam, and a mixed clay. All the soils are deep and unexcelled richness. The entire section is watered by the Santa Ana river and the Santiago Rock. The water is brought from the Santa Ana river in a canal 14 miles in length, and 10 feet wide by three feet deep, and affords at times an abundance of water to irrigate every foot of land in the district. This canal was built and is owned by the people of the district, and the water regulations are such that no one can use the water for purposes of irrigation except their land is covered by the rock of the company. Every acre of land in the district is easily irrigable, and this arrangement compels all land owners to become stockholders in the company. PRODUCTIONS. Although the productive capabilities of the soil are almost boundless, yet the chief adaptation is to the culture of semi-tropical fruits. Of these the orange, lemon, lime, grape and grape take precedence. This season is entirely exempt from destruction by frosts, and while almost all other sections of the State have during the past two months suffered from the blighting-effects of cold, orange has escaped. Our trees and tenderest plants have continued to grow and show no mark of injury. The district has been settled five years, and the shipments of oranges alone this year numbers about 70,000 per count, which have netted from $2.50 to $5 per hundred, and I was informed by one of our citizens that from lime trees four years old, covering about a fourth of an acre, he has received for the fruit, net, four hundred dollars. There are now set and growing about 220,000 orange and lemon trees, and the greater part are of the choicest varieties ofoudded fruit. The finest raisins of this or any other country are grown and made here, and yearly find their way to the markets of the world. The district is rapidly filling up with men of intelligence and culture. Already three churches are organized and the M. E. Church has a commodious house of worship. A graded school consisting of three departments is maintained and ably conducted by old and experienced teachers. THE PRICE OF LAND In Orange ranges for unimproved from $25 to $75 per acre, according to location. In general, however, $25 to $40 per acre is asked. But few improved places are for sale. The value of such would depend upon the kind and amount of improvement, age of trees, etc. The population of the district thus far are mainly Eastern people who have brought with them their civilization. To our Eastern friends who contemplate locating in a branch Government Land Office established in their city, A little son of Mark Hudson, of Watsonville Landing, cut one of his hands with glass recently. Lockjaw ensued and he died on Thursday last. Gov. Fremont vetoed the bill licensing gambling in Arizona Territory, and the vet was sustained. Mr. J. A.

Believing that we cannot afford to retire under fire of the enemy, and that his constituents will return him for another term, he considers it his duty to himself and the District to make the right, though he had intended to be a candidate for Governor at the next election. Northern Arizona received its share of moisture during the month of January. The snow and rain-fall during the first month of 1879 is double what it was in the same month in 1878. The ground is now good and moist, and the indications point to the coming season as one most favorable for the farmers of Yavapai county. Last Thursday afternoon, Mr. Dunlap of Emmet, San Benito county, returned from hunting and carelessly stood his loaded gun on the floor in a corner of the sitting room, where it was found by his son, aged three years. The little fellow blew into the muzzle when the gun slipped and was discharged, instantly killing the child, the shot passing entirely through his head and lodging in a door. As a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention has asserted that our Judges do not labor faithfully, the following facts from municipal reports of 1877-8, pages five and six, are pertinent: Number of cases brought in the several District Courts—Fourth, 915; Twelfth, 1,101; Fifteenth, 506; Nineteenth, 1,049; Twenty-third and Third, 1,127. Adjudicated—Fourth, 318; Twelfth, 493; Fifthth, 155; Nineteenth, 389; Twenty-third and Third, 333. Amount of money judgments—Fourth,$985,384 20; Twelfth,$1,-223,484 11; Fifteenth,$429,215 25; Nineteenth,$085,187 26; Twenty-third and Third,$265,664 86. In addition to this Judges Daingerfield, the Twelfth, and Dwinelle, of the Fifteenth, hold courts in San Mateo and Contra Costa counties respectively. The above record is one of which the people may well be proud. At a late hour on Saturday afternoon the House bill to restrict Chinese immigration, by limiting the number of immigrants of that class to not more than 15 on each vessel, passed the Senate by a vote of 39 to 26, the majority being a trifle larger than the friends of the measure had been led to anticipate. The amendments adopted are three in number. The first directs that prompt notice of the Act and its provisions shall be given to the Chinese government; the second excludes shipwrecked Chinese from the operations of the bill; the third permits Chinese to come to this country for educational purposes, all such to be provided with certificates from their Government. There is little danger of any opposition in the House to these amendments. The concurrence of that body may therefore be safely relieved upon, and in its present form the bill may be regarded as beyond the reach of Congressional danger. San Francisco Markets.
