WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...APRIL 12, 1879. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the place designated. They are author and 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 TUSTIN BAN JUAN CAPINTRANO ... R EGAN NORWALK ... J E CALDWELL SILVERADO ... J C HILL TRAVELING AGENT ... A T FERDON TAXATION OF OUR WATER COMPANIES. Section one of the article on Taxation and Revenue in the new Constitution says: "All property in the State not exempt under the laws of the United States shall be taxed in proportion to its value, to be ascertained as provided by law. The word 'property' is used in this article and section is hereby declared to include moneys, credits, bonds, stocks, dues, franchises, and all other matters and things, real, personal and mixed, capable of private ownership." Last fall the Anaheim Water Company bought of the Cajon Irrigation Company a half interest in its ditch for $20,000. That half interest is virtually a half interest of the Cajon Company's franchise. The Anaheim Company re-organized, raising its capital stock to $90,000, divided into 3,000 shares of $30 each. Each share covers an acre of land. Of this stock, two thousand shares have been put upon the market and nearly all sold. On this stock, assessments are being called in as rapidly as the law allows. By the time the first assessment of property will be made under the new Constitution (should it be adopted), 50 per cent., or $15 per share, of the stock will have been paid up. The market value of a share of stock will then be $15. Under the new Constitution the stock of all corporations must be taxed in "proportion to its value."

The stock of the Anaheim Water Company bought of the Cajon Irrigation Company a half interest in its ditch for $20, The Winter's Advocate is the name of a paper that advocates the adoption of the new Constitution. One of its reasons for doing so is given in the following paragraph: Section 11, Article 11, of the new Constitution says that "Any county, city, town or township may make and enforce within its limits all such local, police, sanitary, and other regulations, as are not in conflict with general laws." This section, if the Constitution be adopted, will work a great benefit to small towns in the way of giving them the privilege of passing local option laws without the expense of incorporating. The people can also pass a local option bill, under this section, which cannot be declared unconstitutional. If we favored the new Constitution, we would not advance such an argument as above. We would scarcely expect a community like Anaheim to favor a Constitution which would permit the enactment of summary laws, any more than we would ex- 3. The third essential feature of a healing climate: freedom from strong wind, cloud and rain. A comparison drawn from observations made by the late Mr. Miles at each of the three places mentioned in the preceding paragraph, gives very striking results. The observations were published in your columns two or three years ago, but they are none the worse for that. They cover the three winter months, December, January and February. I give merely their summing up: At Anaheim, out of the 90 days, an invalid could have been out all day, 81 days. Confined indoors by bad weather, 9 days. I have found the climate all that my inquiries led me to expect. It is simply delicious. More existence is a pleasure. I have not lived in any of these other climates, and therefore cannot say that the same thing would not have happened in any or all of them; but I can say that here the condition of my injured lung has been one of steady improvement; that examination by an experienced physician shows that there is a marked tendency to throw off the disease; and that I look forward—barring unforeseen misadventure—to a complete and not long deferred restoration. There are three points of especial importance in a climate which is to be resorted to on account of its restorative functions in diseases of the pulmonary organs. They are: 1. Equability; 2. Atmospheric dryness; 3. Freedom from wind and cloud. 1. Equability. The variation of the mean temperature from month to month will be very small. January and July will have average temperatures not very remote; and there will be no suddenly extreme variations. In the neighbourhood of Niagara I have known the thermometer to fall within 18 hours from 55 above zero to 12 below. That sort of eccentricity will not be observed in the perfect climate. The difference between the summer and winter means of Minnesota, Minnesota, is 55.47; between those of Anaheim it is only 16.66. As I have already stated, if you strike out from the list the Atlantic Gulf Stream islands, then Los Angeles and San Diego counties head the list of the world; and Malta, Algiers, Florida, Egypt, Nice, Mentone, Pan, Florence, Genoa, Alken, Denver and Minnesota come into line with mean differences (very mean) ranging all the way from 20.74 to 55.47. 2. As to the second point: atmospheric moisture. Observations made with the hygrometer establish the superiority of Anaheim over such celebrated resorts as Mentone, in south-eastern France, and Aiken, South Carolina; and if the comparison were extended to other places the result would without doubt be equally favorable. The amount of rainfall it should be remembered, is not a full test of the degree of moisture in the atmosphere. The air may be full charged with moisture, and yet be free from that condition which will condense it and precipitate it in the form of rain; and therefore the rainfall may be less than in a place where there is really far less atmospheric moisture. In testing the climate for the sake of invalids, it is consequently necessary to find the amount of moisture held in the air, and then also the frequency and the amount of rain. In the former point, as I have just stated, Anaheim has few, if she has any rivals. In looking for the latter we come to the consideration of 3.

My letter is already, I am afraid, too long for your columnna, so I shall at once cut it short by subscribing myself, Yours Faithfully, A. G. L. Trew. New York, April 9th.—The Commercial Bulletin to-day, referring to the new Constitution in California, says: Surprise is expressed in many quarters that such a Constitution was at all possible in a civilized community where the rights of property are supposed to obtain recognition. That surprise, as it seems to us, is unreasonable. The surprise would be a Constitution of a different stamp. The merchants, capitalists and businessmen unfortunately could not be got to take any particular interest in the election which constituted the Convention. They practically let it go by default. The whole thing was left pretty much to "hoodlums," and the "hoodlums," in making a Constitution that is expressly designed, to use one of their own select phrases, to "muzzle capital," have simply followed their communistic and agrarian instincts. And now that they are confronted with the mischievous work which the Jack Cades and Anocharsia Klootzes of the Pacific Slope have put on them, the business clauses are thrown into a panic, and are asking what is to be done. The moral of it all is, that under a system of government like ours, if intelligence will not take the trouble to mould the laws and to govern, ignorance will. After long and loud shanks arose and said fellow citizens, I move meeting into a state of express our feelings, we have been committed men." This motive went whereupon Mr. Trew: "Gentlemen I cannot that Mr. James McFarland am a friend to Mr. McFarland befriend him. Excuse I used to preach, [as commendation to the see me in rage and to eat as any of my nieces was a proof to them be tedious Mr. Prey offer a few resolutions of this meeting bring 'em out." Whereas, Mr. Trew any teeth to extract from the earth which brutally attacking them for catching him at the workingsmen, he negotiate an exe Dr. Optick, wishing called to his aid a hand stood off the back I cannot read for such outrages. The hold does to be brave extreme and denote notice of good people solved. That a vote Hon. Denis O'Flanagan Mr. O'Flanagin's Speech. SANTA ANA, April 6th, 1879. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Please give place in your paper to the following account of the great gathering of Workingmen at Santa Ana last Saturday. It had been announced that the Hon. Denis O'Flanagin would address the Workingmen's Club at Santa Ana at 4 o'clock afternoon. From early morn till late in the day the roads and paths were thronged with carriages, wagons, horsemen and footmen of all ages, sexes and conditions wending their way to the aforesaid town to hear the distinguished orator and friend of the poor laborer, and by the time appointed there were gathered in front of the Santa Ana Hotel between ten and twelve thousand persons, eager to catch a glimpse of that distinguished personage — Hon. Denis O'Flanagin. The meeting was called to order and organized by electing Mr. J. Tinker President and S. A. Scratch, Secretary. Mr. Tinker on taking the chair said: "Gentlemen and fellow workers, this is the proudest hour of my life; I feel that no higher honors could be conferred on me. Please accept my humble gratitude for the favor and privilege of presiding over this meeting and the happiness of introducing to you the Hon. Dinis O'Flanagin, who will now address you." Mr. O'Flanagin, stepping forward upon the platform was greeted with loud, long and deafening yells of applause. He said: "Feller workingmen and feller working wimin, I appear before you at this time to discuss subjects of vital and vast importance to you and to me; questions upon which depend our eternal interest. Kings and Thrones meet together; Councils of Emperors and Princes may convene; nations, kingdoms and empires may assemble in legislative bodies and make laws and legislate for their own interest. Then why not we meet together and talk of our grievances, and devise ways and means to better our conditions in life. [Applause] Gentlemen, I say down with the bloated monopolist, ('Rah for O'Flanagin,' 'rah for Kerny O'Flanagin.) Feller workers of Santa Ana I congratulate you; you have the most lovely, grand and glorious country here, the prettiest ladies, the finest looking black-eyed girls and blue-eyed boys, a fine and growing village, finest and most productive farms and orchards and railroad just at your doors, with the best depot buildings this side of Los Angeles City, but hold! Do you own them? Not much, they are owned and held by the thieving land grabber, the bank smasher, the subsidized, hell-hound, and hell-bound railroad ringers. [Immense applause.] Who made all these things? By whose labor I ask were those farms made, these crops harvested and these railroads built? Was it defense of the workingmen's cause, and that he be invited to visit us again. All of which was unanimously adopted. After much applause and cheering the meeting adjourned. S.A.Scratch, Secretary. Santa Ana Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. These resolutions you published last week took so well here, that we held another meeting and passed some more, which we hereby transmit for the edification of yourself and readers. Resolved, That it is honorable, manly and heroic to strike a man from behind without cause or provocation of any kind. Resolved, That when one man gets tired pounding another, it is in order for another to continue the process while the other rests. Resolved, That if we can't get the miserable muddles in this place to distrust the evidence of their own senses, nor keep their "fly-trap" shut, it is in order to publish a lying statement of the affair in the San Francisco Alta and have the same republished in our organ—the McFadden Herald. Resolved, If the people of this town don't keep their months shut about this affair that we will send to Newport again, if it kills one hundred horses. Resolved, That because Dr. Burtnett drinks whisky and gets into drunken rows that we are perfectly justified in suppressing free speech, inciting riots, striking men from behind, publishing lying statements, forging calls for meetings, etc. Resolved, That public opinion is a fool and should not be allowed to have free expression. Resolved, That we thank God that we are not as other men are. Resolved, That the men who struck Kearney are first choice for President and Vice-President. Resolved, That our only chance to keep from being flattened out entirely, is to sustain (mob) law. These resolutions were unanimously adopted. We meet again next week and if anything of interest takes place will notify you. Deputy Sheriff Hickey now has the pleasure of restoring the school deks to their proper place and screwing them down again. Selah. We were at the concert at Westminster last Tuesday evening, and it was a pronounced success. S. Holman, of Los Angeles, sued Messra Greenleaf, Russell and Smith on a note of hand, and obtained judgment against them as individuals, because they had at one time something over two years ago been thus tried.

[Immense applause.] Who made all these things? By whose labor I ask were these farms made, these crops gathered and these railroads built? Was it by your labor? Not much, it was all done by the dark-skinned, moon-eyed, opium-eating leper of China, who yell, feller workers, were left standing around the corners to starve. [Deafening applause, cries of good, true.] Now feller workers, by way of argument I wish to present you with an example, and of course I wish it distinctly understood that I do not advise you to follow the example, but only offer it as an argument; it is that of France. About 7000 years ago Nebucaduezer and his followers by their land-grabbing, bank-smashing and railroad robbers, had succeeded in getting into their clutches all the property of the country. France has a territory of 600,000,000 acres all owned and held by this thieving set of blood-sucker. Well what was to be done? I will tell you. The workingmen started up a big war, took all this land and divided it up into twelve hundred million acres farmed and turned the old Emperor out to grass. [Applause and cries of 'rah for Kerny.] And I tell you feller workers, France is to-day the happiest and most prosperous nation on the face of this green earth. Only think of it. In less than 17 months she had paid off her entire debt of $190,000,000,000 besides having in her treasury to-day $220,000,000,000 United States gold coin. [Cries of good, good for France.] Only think of it, what the workingmen are able to do when once they make up their minds to do a thing. Now, as I said before I do not advise you to do as they did. We have a little knife, a small paper knife, if we cannot cut our way through with them, then we will try something else. But now to some of your local grievances. I am informed that there are about 3000 families settled on the Los Bolsas Grant. This calls to my mind the fact which I will now state for your information that there is not a Spanish Grant in the whole State. [Tremendous applause, with deafening, yells and cries of 'rah for Kerny,' rah for O'Flanagin; some minutes before silence or order were sufficiently restored for the speaker to continue.] These settlers claim this land as Government land and I tell you it is Government land, every foot of it, and I say stick to your homes. [applause.] and if the law suit now pending goes against you, stick to your homes. [applause.] Let each man get him a bowie knife, a Cult's revolver and a Henry repeater with 100 rounds of ammunition I tell you these things beat all the law this side of hell. [deafening applause] and if you need help we can furnish you forty millions as brave hearts as ever carried a torch or cracked a nose. And now feller workers I have not time to discuss the China question. I will only say that 'John must go.' Neither have I the time to speak of the proposed Constitution. I could talk to you all day about its excellencies and there would still be new beauties untold. But vote for it, and then you will see all these grants ripped up and railroad thieves and bank-smashers knocked out of time. I have been told that there is a ring over in hell's half acre and that the tail end of it is in Santa Ana. [Great yells of applause and cries 'that so.] Now feller workers I am going to give you the names and facts and figures. [cries of 'out with Wall.] I have their names here These resolutions were unanimously adopted. We meet again next week and if anything of interest takes place will notify you. Deputy Sheriff Hickey now has the pleasure of restoring the school deks to their proper place and screwing them down again. Selah. We were at the concert at Westminster last Tuesday evening, and it was a pronounced success. S. Hellman, of Los Angeles, sued Messrs Greenleaf, Russell and Smith on a note of hand, and obtained judgment against them as individuals, because they had at one time something over two years ago been tried of this school district. The Sheriff served in some school property belonging to the trust; the district has brought a revival against the Sheriff, and we suppose the rights of property will soon be tried. If the avowed gentlemen bought the property to their own private use, the Sheriff and Hellman will win; Jose Maria Acuna, who attempted to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a pocket knife, is still alive. He is quarreled in the Fashion Hospital, where Jack Winn formerly led a gorgeous existence by retailing bug juice. W. D. Morton informs us that the people have taken his school room for a hay mow; consequently he has quit teaching. The special fund raised in this district by tax, in 1876, was, through the carelessness of Supt. Saxon, placed to the credit of Vernon School District. The way it was done, our model trustees used the money here as fast as they collected it instead of letting it go through the regular channels as provided by law. In order to evade the law, they borrowed a few thousand dollars for a few minutes, deposited it, and immediately drew it out again. Spring district's and Vernon's accounts being on the same page, the Superintendent in advertently placed the amount ($3150) to its credit. Had our trustees obeyed the law, this would not have happened. The late rainfall has helped the small grain crops wonderfully. H. S. Austin, Mr. Ferguson, and E. W. Champlin, of your place, were in town this week. April 9th, 1879. A Zealous Official. WESTMINSTER, Cal. April 7. 1879. EDITOR GAZETTE: A little official incident took place in Westminster last week which may give some variety to the articles noticed in your paper. A China boy offered for sale some articles of merchandise, and on inquiry as to his right to sell, he produced a license which proved to be for the City of Los Angeles. The boy affirmed that the man who gave him the license, said he could go anywhere; but this did not satisfy. Complaint was made and an officer immediately dispatched for his arrest. The offence was deemed sufficient to require a fine of $1, but John had to hand over $6.25 before he could be permitted to take up his packs and make his way back to the City of Los Angeles. We have known some cases where complaint was made of the violation of law, which proved unintentional on the part of the offender, when after taxing up the costs of suit, the officials sensuously remitted their fees. As a matter of course, nothing of the kind was expected in this case. 'John must go.' This was perhaps the first nibble the officials had been favored with, and it was remarked of the gentleman who made the arrest, that he had never been seen to move with the same alacrity before; and it After long and loud cheering Mr. Tangle-shanks arose and said, "Mr. President and fellow citizens, I move that we resolve this meeting into a state of indignation so we can express our feelings, on other outrages that have been committed on our fellow working men." This motive was unanimously carried, whereupon Mr. Tangle-shanks continued, "Gentlemen I cannot say, I will not say that Mr. James McFadden is a bad man. I am a friend to Mr. McFadden and shall still befriend him. Excuse me for using notes as I used to preach, [as though that was any recommendation to the cause] and while you see me in rags and tatters we have as much to eat as any of my neighbors, [when his leanness was a proof to the contrary] and not to be tedious Mr. President I wish now to offer a few resolutions expressive of the sentiments of this meeting, [Oriens of good, good, bring 'em out.]" Whereas, Mr. Toothmacher not finding any teeth to extract, for the sake of employment tried his hand at extracting a rock from the earth which was a land mark, then brutally attacking the owner with a pistol for catching him at it; and further, while one of our workingmen, a must pedler, for trying to negotiate an exchange of commodities, Dr. Optic, wishing to monopolize the trade, called to his aid a bully and with pistol in hand stood off the bystanders. I cannot read further Mr. President of such outrages. Therefore, Resolved, That we hold such to be brutal and cowardly in the extreme and denounce them as beneath the notice of good people. And be it further resolved, That a vote of thanks be given to the Hon. Denis O'Flanagan for his vistand his able made and an officer immediately dispatched for his arrest. The offence was deemed sufficient to require a fine of $1, but John had to hand over $6.25 before he could be permitted to take up his packs and make his way back to the City of Los Angeles. We have known some cases where complaint was made of the violation of law, which proved unintentional on the part of the offender, when, after taxing up the costs of suit, the officials renewedly remitted their fees. As a matter of course, nothing of the kind was expected in this case. "John must go." This was perhaps the first nibble the officials had been favored with, and it was remarked of the gentleman who made the arrest, that he had never been seen to move with the same alacrity before; and it suggested the thought that if he would use his brush with the same energy that he went for poor John, he would foot up a less bill for church painting. Now, Mr. Editor, we propose to make a practical use of this little episode and our law-loving citizens will certainly not object to be law-abiding. This may be regarded as a notice that any violation of the law for the protection of the Sabbath, or against vending intoxicating liquors, which may come to the knowledge of the subscriber, complaint will promptly be made to the proper authorities. Norwalk Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The most venerable inhabitant estimates the rainfall for the past showery week at 2½ inches. It is certain that a great quantity of water fell from the clouds, coming down like small cloud bursts. On Tuesday afternoon and Friday forenoon were the longest and heaviest falls; Sunday night too brought a heavy shower, followed on Monday by a cold wind from a westerly direction. The innocence of a new resident, coming from pacific regions, called it a regular snifter, but natives called it a nephyr, and assured new resident that "you wait till it has been blowing-two or three days, and you try going across the plains with a long overcoat over you, and you'll find this nothing. Why, I've been nearly whipped to pieces by one of those same overcasts and it is almost impossible for one to stand up in them in those winds; this is nothing." So the eyes are closed (to keep out the sand) and the mind fondly endures to hear only Mollian breeze from Hesperius the blast. Mr. Crendell is sinking an artesian well for the Santa Gertrudes company on their ranch, half a mile from Fulton Wells. At 190 feet good water was found, which came within 13 feet of the surface. At 200 feet they brought up fragments of sea shells (octren). Little Lake Social Club held an interesting and pleasant meeting Saturday, and adjourned to meet on April 19th. PRICES AT THE...
