WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...AUGUST 23, 1879. AGENTS OF THE GAZETTE. The following gentlemen are appointed agents of the Gazette at the place designated. They are authorized to receive money in payment for subscriptions or advertisements: WESTMINSTER.....ROBERT STRONG GARDEN GROVE.....CON HOWE ORANGE.....N. D. HARWOOD TUSTIN.....C. TUSTIN BAN JUAN CAPISTRANO.....R. EGAN NORWALE....J. E. CALDWELL SILVERADO.....J. C. HILL TRAVELING AGENT.....A. T. FERDON AGRICULTURAL NOTES. The Scotch Pife wheat received from the Department of Agriculture last year by Messrs A. Guy Smith & Co., and planted by Mr. Smith of that firm, has turned out very well. The berry is large, hard, clear and white, and is by long odds the finest looking variety of wheat grown on this coast. If it is found to possess rust-resisting qualities, farmers should plant it in preference to any other, as its market value would be much greater than that of any other variety. However, until it is proved to be impervious to rust, it would be well to plant Odessa wheat, which can be relied upon in this respect. If rust in wheat is due alone to damp, foggy weather late in the season, there is little danger of the Scotch Pife wheat being subject to attack. Fifeshire, of all the localities in Scotland, is noted for the abundance of rainy and foggy weather reaching far into the so-called summer season, yet the wheat grown there never rusts. Fifty-six thousand cents of Chevalier barley were shipped to Liverpool, from San Francisco on Saturday. The foreign demand for this quality of barley keeps pace with its production, and it is one of the prolific crops which can be raised here. It is to wheat, chevalier barley and grapes that the farmers and horticulturists of Southern California must look heralder for profit. To raise more corn and common barley than is required for home use is a foolish and suicidal proceeding. MR. EGAN FOR SUPERVISOR. It is not very long ago that a highly respected and influential man in this part of the county was waited upon by some of his friends and asked if he would consent to become a candidate for an office of considerable importance. He very firmly refused to entertain any such idea, and gave as his principal reason for refusing that he would not for the sake of any office within the gift of the people expose himself to the slander, innuendoes and direct attacks on his character which would follow his appearance in the political field. That is exactly the position of many honest and capable, but sensitive men, and that is one of the grand reasons which keep such men from seeking political advancement. In the excitement of political campaigns the press and people appear to lose sight of the fact that it is not necessary to the success of their favorites to drag the opposing party through the mire of detraction, abuse, and slander. The merits of a candidate may be discussed or extolled, and his cause advanced without his opponent being made a target for all the slime and billingsgate which a malevolent mind can suggest. Before his endorsement by the Democratic and Republican Conventions as a candidate for Supervisor, Mr. Richard Egan was a man against whom no one had a word to say. Genial in his habits, gentlemanly in his deportment, a "stalwart" politically, and withal as independent and straightforward a man as ever walked the earth, he had the good opinion of every one who knew him. But no sooner is he in the political arena than an effort is made to besmirch his reputation; but as the venom is poured into an ephemeral sheet published sixty miles away from his home, it is not likely that the poison will have the slightest effect.. There is no man in the county who is so thoroughly independent of every individual or corporation as Mr. Egan, and the statement that he could be controlled by any man or faction is infamously false. Mr. Egan was endorsed by the Republican and Democratic Conventions as being in every way capable of filling the office of Supervisor, and as being the man of all others who would prove acceptable to the NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Travels Through the Northern States-The Sublime Mount Shasta. EDITOR GAZETTE:—I can but enter pleas of laziness, engendered by the extreme heat, as an apology for my negligence sending my weekly budget of news to GAZETTE, and I expect perfect and absolute upon informing you that the mometer reaches one hundred for a stale climate, with an occasional dash above it by way of variety. With such a temperature, who could be industrious? Leaving Chico at 7:40 p.m., we are at Reading (the R. R. terminus) at 10 am and almost immediately were called for coach which was to convey us to Yew We were whirled rapidly away through semi darkness, and in about 20 min reached the Sacramento river, which crossed on a ferry. Traveling over low gradually growing into mountains, until stars begin to disappear, and the first streaks of dawn in the mountains proaches, one should have the pen of a knife to attempt the description of such a scene was unfolded to my view. Range range of mountains stretching far away in distance, with the alternate flashes of light, and the blue, hazy shadows, so strived for by scenic artists. While right and far below us stretched the beautiful Pitt river winding its sinuous roar like course in and out through the forest with which its banks are so luxuriantly ridden. As we pass along, the timber becomes dense, and the air is heavy with perfume of fir, spruce and pine, plentiful interspersed with the mild mountain flow and here I saw for the first time the tree, from which is extracted, I am told genuine Bay rum. I cannot truthfully tell the perfume of the leaf, which the very tenely manly driver gathered and gave to me. We cross the Pitt river by ferriage. This tributary to the Sacramento river, fed by Fall river which has its original springs, and is quite wonderful for its even in a distance of a few miles. We come next to the McCloud river cling pell mell down the rocky hillside. Fifty-six thousand cents of Chevalier barley were shipped to Liverpool, from San Francisco on Saturday. The foreign demand for this quality of barley keeps pace with its production, and it is one of the profitable crops which can be raised here. It is to wheat, chevalier barley and grapes that the farmers and horticulturists of Southern California must look hereafter for profit. To raise more corn and common barley than is required for home use is a foolish and suicidal proceeding. LAST SEASON L. K. Hedgpath, says the Stockton Independent, had some late sown grain which rusted, and instead of doing as many would have done, he cut the grain just before the stalks had ripened, in fact they were green, and loosely piled it up. His idea in so doing was to experiment a little. The wheat thus rusted and cut ripened in the pile, and when it was examined the heads were ound filled with the plumpest of grain, and he wheat threshed therefrom of a superior quality. The wheat was cut when the grains were "stiff dough," and it is established by the experiment that the sap from the stock continued to pass into the heads until they were filled and the sun ripened the grain long after it was cut. This is something new to us, and probably will be to many farmers of large experience. And as there is considerable grain in the country afflicted with rust, we would like to hear of the experiment being repeated. If the result will hold good in all cases, rust will be robbed of its terror to our grain producers hereafter, and its appearance in fields will show them that very often they can commence harvesting early in damp as well as dry seasons. JOHN FISCHER, OF ANAHEIM. The N. C. P. candidate for Recorder is a German of the good old-fashioned kind. Born and raised in the good old free city of Hamburg, Mr. Fischer is quite advanced in years (full 60), of fine personal appearance and of venerable aspect, in fact the beau ideal of a genial old gentleman. John Fischer came here in 1859, and settled at Anaheim, where he has ever since resided. In 1867 he built the Planters' Hotel, which was born in 1871, and rebuilt by him the same year. In 1876 he built the Bank of Anaheim. Notwithstanding John Fischer has been one of the leading men of his town, the hard times have told so heavily on him that he is now a poor man. As a competent business man Mr. Fischer has no superior, while his integrity is absolutely above suspicion. The above is from the New Constitution, and is a merited tribute to a worthy man. Mr. Fischer went to El Monte yesterday to prosecute the canvass in that section. He has received flattering assurances from all parts of the county, and he will without doubt make a gallant showing on election day. The San Francisco Alta has gone into the prophesying business, about the next election, and in summing up the situation in this county, says: Los Angeles, which comes next in order, having cast 6100 votes on the Constitution The duties of nominating Conventions are so circumscribed that any departure from the stereotyped rules is a rare matter. The Republican Convention which met in San Francisco last week to nominate candidates for municipal offices, done itself honor by taking cognizance of a case which called loudly for sympathy. A man named Solomon Mitchell had been arrested at the instance of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, for permitting his daughter, a girl of twelve years of age, to sell bouquets on the street and assist in the support of a sick mother and five brothers and sisters. He was convicted and sent to prison, his family in the meantime suffering for the necessaries of life. A member of the Convention rose to a question of privilege and stated the case, and concluded by making a motion that a request be sent by telegram to Gov. Irwin asking him to pardon Mitchell, which was done. A collection was taken up among the members of the Convention, and in a few minutes a messenger was on his way to the destitute family with $111 75. The Nevada people are wonderfully taken with the double-headed wonder, Miss Millie Christian. A Carson paper made inquiries about her and in answer was informed by one of the proprietors that since the year 1870 she has been in Europe. The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of July 8, 1869, contains a lecture that was delivered about this marvel of nature before the medical faculty of that city, an extract from which as the venom is poured into an ephemeral sheet published sixty miles away from his home, it is not likely that the poison will have the slightest effect. There is no man in the county who is so thoroughly independent of every individual or corporation as Mr. Egan, and the statement that he could be controlled by any man or faction is infamously false. Mr. Egan was endorsed by the Republican and Democratic Conventions as being in every way capable of filling the office of Supervisor, and as being the man of all others who would prove acceptable to the majority of the voters in the District. We republish the resolutions which received the affirmative vote of every delegate in the Republican Convention: WHEREAS, Mr. Richard Egan, of San Juan Capistrano, has appeared before the public as an independent candidate for Supervisor of the 4th District, without endorsing or pledging himself to the platform of any party, and, WHEREAS, We consider him a gentleman eminently fitted for the position of Supervisor, therefore, be it Resolved That we present the name of Mr. Richard Egan to the Republican voters of the 4th District, as a capable and competent man to fill said position, and well worthy of their support. Mr. Egan is fairly and squarely before the people on his own merits, and he has a right to expect the support of the voters of both the parties whose delegates pronounced so strongly in his favor.

The Republicans will probably have 2000 (Hayes had 3042); the Democrat 2000; the Workingmen 1200, and the Bilks 900. There has been no fusion of the "Kearneyites and Bilks," as the Alta phrases it, but each has a full ticket in the field. The Alta's figures may be as unreliable as its facts. Prop. Strambio, in a note to an Italian medical journal, says that notwithstanding the failure of all remedies hitherto recommended for the immediate cure of a cold, he wishes to communicate to the profession the great success he has found attending a new one in his own person, and to ask them to test its efficacy. He found prolonged mastication and swallowing of a dried leaf or two of the Eucalyptus globulus almost immediately liberated him from all the effects of a severe cold. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has just made the apportionment of school money for the year. The total number of children between the ages of 5 and 17 years, entitled to receive school money, is 216,404; amount per child, $1.09; amount apportioned, $235,880.36. The amount apportioned to Los Angeles county, which has 10,768 census children, is $11,737.12. The only counties in the State entitled to a larger apportionment are: an Francisco and Alameda. The former has 62,105 census children, and the latter 15,020. When tramps don't go at the word from the Wells, Nev., vigilantes, the latter lasso the vagrants and pull them out of town. The Nevada people are wonderfully taken with the double-headed wonder, Miss Millie Christian, A Carson paper made inquiries about her and in answer was informed by one of the proprietors that since the year 1870 she has been in Europe. The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of July 8, 1869, contains a lecture that was delivered about this marvel of nature before the medical faculty of that city, an extract from which reads: "She has two perfect heads with all the mental faculties of two persons, four hands and arms, four lower limbs and feet, and that in all other things she is one person, and that the two heads feel hunger and thirst at the one time, yet one can sleep while the other is awake." She has given receptions before all the great people of the Old World during her tour of Europe, and, as her manager remarks, she is a curiosity even to him for all that he has seen her so often, he having accompanied her during all her travels. TRACY (San Joaquin county), August 16. News was received here last evening of the accidental drowning of T. Jennings, a prominent rancher, who in company with three assistants was endeavoring to Ford the San Joaquin river with a band of sheep about four miles west of this place. When but a short distance from shore he disappeared. By the aid of grappling irons his companions succeeded in recovering his body. New York, August 11.—The Wine an Liquor Circular shows the importation to this port of French still-wines in July to be nearly 110,000 gallons, besides an increase of about 250 cases against 47,000 gallons in July, 1878. The editor says that trade with California is wonderfully extending. So far this year fully 1,000,000 gallons of wine have come from California, and 100,000 gallons of brandy. Governor President has made arrangements for the introduction of considerable capital into Arizona mining enterprises, provided the experts recently dispatched thither shall report favorably. Our next point of peculiar interest is "Soda Springs," where I decided to until the following afternoon. This is sort of some notoriety, and deserve it is situated in a most diminutive fairly surrounded and guarded by giants which are spurs of the Sierra Nevada house is large and well ordered, we kept grounds that slope gradually banks of the Sacramento river. The famous fishing and hunting here, and most warmly recommend the place to fond of that sport. The fish are most mon and speckled trout, both of whitte tender, juicy, well-cooked venison, our table board. Within two miles hotel, they kill quantities of deer, occasional bear—black, grizzly or ciri Panthere and California lions also abide near neighborhood, though enter and ambitious hunters prosecute their as far as the McCloud river, insuring doing fine sport. The spring containically sulphur, soda and iron; it is in a Pagoda-shaped building made of wood and bubbles and boils like the ventilated soda, with no discernable difference the taste. The place is owned and Manning and Campbell: the former, he is better known by the sobriquet of Duck," and is quite a celebrity, having at the springs for 18 years. The many beautiful specimens of antlers ed in the office, and the fishing and in this locality is said to be unsuited While I was there an Indian brought salmon weighing 40 pounds. The ensuing day found me quite rushed after my 90 miles' drive, and started o'clock P.M. I enjoyed a most delightful ride to Yreka. We passed "Sissons," tourists make their headquarters for Shasta acount, and here also we pay head waters of the Sacramento river rowed down now to a brook that would find no difficulty in crossing; we approach that truly magnificent mount of the greatness and sublimity of Mount Shasta, and of which we had view in the early morning of the present day. This mountain, rising from that summit, acquires an activity of thousand four hundred and forty-four superbly raising its snowy crown again bright blue sky. At the foot of this train flows a tranquil little stream, but Butte creek, from which the sleeps hamlet of Butteville derives its name. NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

Range after mountains stretching far away in the with the alternate flashes of sunlight the blue, hazy shadows, so much by scenic artists. While to the far below us stretched the beauteriver winding its sinuous, ribbon rise in and out through the foliage such its banks are so luxuriantly envipass along, the timber becomes sease, and the air is heavy with the of fir, spruce and pine, plentifully used with the mild mountain flowers, I saw for the first time the Bay can which is extracted, I am told, the Bay rum. I cannot truthfully extol name of the leaf, which the very gendriver gathered and gave to me. to the Pitt river by ferriage. This is try to the Sacramento river, and is all river which has its origin in and is quite wonderful for its size, a distance of a few miles. Come next to the McCloud river, ratmell down the rocky hillside to its we took copper, and here also obtained a view of the justly famous Mount Shasta that I shall carry in my memory while I live. The last rays of the setting sun glided and irradiated the mossy, polished surface, bringing into strong reefs the deep churns and crevices with which the mountain is stained, but the otherwise harsh outlines were softened by the purple mist of distance generously harmonizing where it could not conceal the roughness of the exterior, as a beautiful smile renders heavenly an aged face. For the first time I behold Mount Shasta in all its magnificence, and the whole grand pile seemed to rise in one blaze of glory. Among all the adjacent mountains it stood, in lonely and majestic grandeur, a peer. Darkness now hovered, and more brightly beautiful, in this rarified atmosphere, than I have seen it elsewhere, the evening star appeared, followed quickly by a myriad of lesser lights, twinkling and winking, as a dear little boy once said, as though they too were sleepy. The soft, cool mountain air, fragrant and pure, with a certain peaceful quiet that seemed to pervade all nature, rendered the remainder of our ride to Yreka most delightful. We arrived at II P.M., where I was met by my friends and relatives with a most hearty and hospitable welcome, and where I am admonished by the exceeding length of this communication that it will be necessary for me to defer to a near future a description of Siskiyou county, the most northern in this State, including as it does much interesting matter; but while my letter may have proven monotonous, through my inability to transcribe the many beautiful things I have witnessed, it would yet admit of a much more comprehensive description, necessitating much greater length and broader scope in a more easily written. I have endeavored to abbreviate, and by so doing have omitted much that I regret my inability to present to my readers as it was presented to me. But with the assurance to those who have never visited this section of the country, that with all its sublimity and grandeur, its peace and prosperity, there is nothing in my opinion in Northern California to detract from or mar the more attractive worth of the southern portion of the State.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 20. Corrected weekly by Spear, Meade & Co., No. 316 and 318 Washington St. S. F. The produce market and trade generally continues in about the same condition as at our last report. Wheat and Barley are very weak, with heavy receipts now coming forward. Coast Chevalier Barley is neglected, and owners are storing here for better prices. At present it rates the same as good feed. Potato dealers attempted to form a combination to check shipments and advance prices; but the crop is too heavy and prices show little change. In Beans a temporary scarcity has caused an advance, but this will not last; the general tone is very weak. Corn is firm at better prices. Poultry is weak. Eggs and Butter show an advance and are firm at quotations. Hogs are low and the sale for Products of country packing is so weak at this time of year, we omit quotations, which are way down. Sacks are firm at prices named. Fruits and Vegetables of all kinds are in large supply at prices named. New Dried Fruits are coming forward rapidly. Wheat producers in the lower counties are deceiving themselves with the idea that a small shipment of this grain must be easier to sell than a large one, and are adopting the course of sending up a small lot "to see how it will sell;" intending to "ship more if the price is satisfactory." The fact is that the wheat market is wholly different from all other grains, and neither exporters nor millers will trouble themselves to even look at a small lot. No matter how fine the quality may be, if the amount is small the only parties who will purchase are small dealers who buy for "chicken feed" at reduced prices; unless, as sometimes happens, the commission merchant has a large lot to sell at the same time, and can work the two shipments together. It really is much less work to sell 5000 sacks than to sell 50, and the sale of the small lot is no criterion as to the actual value of the wheat, the state of the market, or what the commission merchant could do if he had a merchantable quantity to sell.
